Subject: Why LiveCode Community Needs You
To: Mark Rauterkus <Mark@rauterkus.com>

LiveCode Community is open source, and free. Maybe you use it to create apps, to learn coding, to teach coding, or just for fun.

Open Source Needs You Support LiveCode OSS Why are we asking you to donate? LiveCode Community is open source, and free. Maybe you use it to create apps, to learn coding, to teach coding, or just for fun. Perhaps you use it to get things done around the office, run little routines on the fly to solve problems, automate repetitive tasks... its uses are endless. It is powerful deep and rich software, and runs on 7 platforms. Creating and maintaining something this amazing takes time, money and highly skilled developers.    I Love Using LiveCode Why not fund LiveCode Community from the paid license revenue? Approximately 6% of LiveCode users have a paid license. This means that 94% of the community is being supported by that 6% of paying users. It seems a disproportionate burden! We appreciate that many open source users are young people, students, retirees or not in a position to contribute. However, if even half of our open source users contributed just $10 from time to time, LiveCode Open Source would be vastly better funded.    I'll Help Fund LC Community What about sponsorship? LiveCode does not have any big name sponsors, in the same way that eg CentOS or Drupal do. If you have connections with any big names that might like to sponsor us please do suggest it to them! In the meantime, we need you, the users, to fund the development.   Your Team Do Great Work I funded the Kickstarter Campaign If you contributed in 2013 to taking LiveCode open source - thank you. You helped to make this great software available to the world! 5 years on, we are maintaining the software, adding new features, providing a download service and producing documentation for users. All of this is an ongoing cost, so if you cared enough to contribute in 2013, maybe you can spare us a few more dollars from time to time to keep this great project running.   Let's Develop LiveCode Together I contribute code Fantastic! Thank you so much. If you are contributing code to the engine, the docs, or any other part of LiveCode Open Source, we absolve you from donating. Approximately 0.01% of you do this and we love you for it. However the reality remains that at least 90% of development work is still done by our fabulous in-house team.

Kim Swims, movie, S6

Courtesy of Kate Webber, Farallons Island, California. 

Kate Webber announced that her documentary film, Kim Swims, will be distributed worldwide by independent film distributor, Gravitas Ventures. 

Webber explains, "The film's first wave of release is set for select worldwide VOD platforms starting October 2nd, 2018 — iTunes, Vimeo, Google Play, Vudu, Xbox, and Amazon. Customers can pre-buy, it helps get the movie better placement overall. Additional platforms to be announced as they are confirmed.

My biggest thanks on this great opportunity goes to our fantastic consulting producer, Marc Smolowitz. He has worked so hard— and with elegance— to reign in this opportunity together and make it a success! He is a gem of expertise and care, elevating our team and project. Also, huge thanks to Paul Szynol, for his kind understanding and sharp expertise as our lawyer on this. 

Throughout the continuously evolving life of this film, I feel fortunate to have culled an incredible team and community. Massive thanks to Kimberley Chambers, first, for sharing on-camera so openly and trusting me to tell your story, talented cinematographer David Orr, for taking the deep dive with me along much of this rollercoaster, mans-got-mad-skills editor Chad Herschberger, our ridiculously talented composer Jeff Linsenmaier. We have had so many compliments on the original music in our film. 

A warm and huge thanks also, to the ever-cool Danielle Holke, for playing an integral role behind the scenes as our marketing and outreach supervisor, making sure we stay connected with our social posts, emails and press opportunities. There are many other teammates I'd like to thank but it will go on and on. 

It's true, one of my greatest pleasures is seeing, hearing and reading how much this film touches those who see it. It makes all the hard work worth it."

October 2nd is the scheduled global release.

• Who Is That Person With Alex Kostich?

World Open Water Swimming Association

Who Is That Person With Alex Kostich? Posted: 09 Jul 2018 02:45 PM PDT Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. Answer: Dan Clarke, a naturalist at Wild Whales Vancouver from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Among the new 2018 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is open water swimmer Alex Kostich, perhaps the only marathon swimmer in the Academy [under confirmation]. Membership in the Academy is limited to film artists working in the production of theatrically-released motion pictures. Members must be sponsored by two Academy members. Kostich spent decades alternatively training hard (from Boston to Palo Alto to Culver City, California) and winning ocean races (from the American west coast to throughout the Caribbean Sea) to working behind the scenes in Hollywood at Sony Pictures and Participant Media in Beverly Hills, California. The well-known open water swimming personality will still train, work and win ocean races, but he is about to venture to the front of the camera as the Travel Ninja. He will serve as the anchor of a new reality TV show about travel. The initial response has been overwhelmingly positive - very similar to his popular videos that he creates as he travels and swims the world over.
