We need help finding "Project Earmarks" for previous Donations via the old donation portal[edit | edit source]


system2020-04-15

Really appreciate any help in figuring out what our past many years of donations were earmarked for. Discussed in the meeting.

Meeting Notes follow for reference:

Tyler proposes resetting the dedicated funds since they’re just speculative at this point.

Ryan: We should probably keep the equiptment fund, for 50% funding of purchaces.

James: there was supposed to be a high limit, a cutoff for how much noisebridge can contribute, i dont remember what it was…

We should look it up, should be findable on the wiki. Equipment fund was originally created with group input. Might have been entirely through do-ocracy or Consensus. Start searching!

Ryan: We could reset and maybe let the guilds be in charge of their funds?

Tyler: We could have the guilds decide what they want funded, like a gofundme for specific equipment

James: What about those groups that fundraised for a long time? No way to confirm the funds they raised, even over many years? Is there any way to figure this out with info we have now?

Tyler: yeah but it would be a difficult, manual process…

James: Was tracked by selecting a project when you donate. Has not been migrated over yet.

Note “General Fund” is the only selectable option now. They used to be tons of options in previous portal.

 Related to #43, this request is specifically for adding Projects back into the donation portal, so it is easy to know...

 The recent donations and projects sidebar is empty, giving the page a broken or half-finished look.

There is an old commit that...





Any help with learning how this projects functionality works is greatly appreciated! See these links and let us know!

Here is the old portal we no longer use: https://github.com/noisebridge/donate.noisebridge.net

Tyler: How much money do you think is in the VR and GNAR funds?

James: Not sure, but check out the links above.

Tyler: Go to github, look who most recently worked on the donate page, see if you can ask them if they made a backup of the fund data.

James: Could be possible to find out if these “project” donations were stored somewhere by previous maintainers. I’ll ask the old maintainers if they can assist.

lxpk: Could we use Quickbooks or something like that?

Tyler: We do use Quickbooks. We’re not using Little Green Light(?) anymore, but Ruth did back up the data from it.

lxpk: Could we integrate Quickbooks to donate page?

James: If we can figure out what the old donations were (see discussion above) we could combine it with a new system that tracks everything via quickbooks or similar.

I don’t know how up to date the following API info is, but in standing the noisetor.net homepage back up I noticed these:

https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1m/json/noisetor

https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1m/json/gnar

Anyone know where the source code is for cha-ching.noisebridge.net ?

Edit: Found the maintainer email listed. Contacting.

I’m curious about how accurate this is. I see exactly 30 donations for gnar and 30 donations for general fund and 30 donations for laser this month… 6 for noisetor in the last month. I don’t know…

Even made up projects names work ala gnarrrll1

Hmm, I can get Gnar and Noisetor results to go back 1y or 1 year by modifying the url.

https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1y/json/gnar

https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1y/json/noisetor

I tried going back 13m or 13+ months or 2y, but that returns

RSS format

``` https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1m/rss List of donations to Noisebridge general fund in past month. https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1m/rss/noisetor List of Noisetor donations in past month. ```

JSON format

``` https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/total/1m/json Total donations to Noisebridge general fund in past month. https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/total/1y/json Total donations to Noisebridge general fund in past year. https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1m/json List of donations to Noisebridge general fund in past month. https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1y/json List of donations to Noisebridge general fund in past year. https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/total/1m/json/noisetor Total Noisetor donations in past month. https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/total/1y/json/noisetor Total Noisetor donations in past year. https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1m/json/noisetor List of Noisetor donations in past month. https://cha-ching.noisebridge.net/v1/donations/list/1y/json/noisetor List of Noisetor donations in past year. ```

Based on the cha-ching front page, which includes a handy rss feed, it seems tracking only extends back one year, at least on this graph gui.
