Mac Developer Program Donation Request

01. May 2012 Comments 2 comments

In preparation to Mac OS X Mountain Lion and the up coming Gate Keeper features, I was hoping that the avid InsomniaX users might be able to pool together and help raise $99AUD to sponsor my access to the Mac Developer Program.

I know many people have donated money and other items over the years of my projects, and these have greatly been appreciated and have helped motivate me to continue developing and updating the projects.

I am keen to relaunch some of my older projects onto the Mac App Store, whilst some of these may turn into paid applications they will help sponsor the development of InsomniaX.

InsomniaX will continue to remain freeware for all to use for a couple of reasons, the first is the Mac App Store terms will not allow for applications that are not sand boxed and well InsomniaX uses a kernel extension… so doubt it will ever be allowed, another compelling reason is if I charge for InsomniaX then I may legally be liable for any consequences of using the software (People ignoring the many many warnings)

However back to the point of this post, please remember donations keep me motivated to update the projects and I really want to publish some of the older projects to the Mac App Store to help sponsor InsomniaX :)
