{% blocktrans %}The Salut à Toi association has been created in june 2014 and is responsible for developing, promoting and funding the software. More generally, its goal is to create free, independant and controllable communication tools. "Controllable" has to be understood this way: the tool is doing exactly what you want and it will stay under your control. So it applies both to present and future.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}The association is non-profit, self-managed and open for everybody to join. There is no designated president, secretary or treasurer, the administrating entity is a college which is today composed by the two main developers: Jérôme who started this as a personal project in 2008 and Adrien who joined him in 2013.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}We have been working full time on Salut à Toi for a while and we plan to keep on doing it. We are now trying to raise enough money to see if we could let the association hire us (we made apropriate research about that and we know that the 1901 French law makes it possible). Our financial model is very simple: the software should always be libre, ethical and free, we are totally against advertisement and we believe in mutual help. We are confident that the people who enjoy what we do will be numerous enough and happy to support us, via joining the association and paying a cotisation.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}Because the money should not operate any separation between us, the people who can not or who do not want to participate financially can still join the association for free and as a moral support. The French law doesn't allow the member to decide the amount of his cotisation, so we had to fix several amounts in the Rules of Procedure: 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 80 or 100. If you want to raise over 100 €, it is possible to do it as a donation (which is not the same as a cotisation). In that case, please contact us. Because we want to stay 100% indepedent and autonomous, we won't allow any company to hi-jack the project and we will never add any donator's logo to the website.{% endblocktrans %}
