4. Who am I?
• Pelle Wessman
• Malmö, Sweden
• Front end developer,
Flattr
• Drupal freelancer,
formerly fulltime at
Good Old for 3 years
5. Black & White
• Money transactions online are complex and
expensive
• A limited amount of things are worth that
effort
• A wide gap between things that get money and
those who don’t
6. The tail is missing
• Donations has become easier through services
like Kickstarter
• Treshold still too high - the long tail of smaller
donations is missing
• Forcing people to pay money is like an aspirin -
makes it a bit better, but doesn’t cure anything
7. Micropayments vs. App Store
• Micro-donations is another way to ”pay it
forward”. App Stores are anti-collaborative.
• Micro-donations focuses on creations and
ideas. App Stores focuses on prices.
• App Stores stifles exploration - Micro-
donations encourages it
• ”Getting paid” !== receiving money
18. The impact
• Enables all things, no matter how small, to get
money - no longer any gap
• Makes it possible for people to support the
things they like without having to think in
terms of money
• Driving the long tail of donations enabling
more people to receive more money
• (Flattr also does fixed fee donations €2-50)
32. Micropayments
• People want to support things they like
• Micropayments enables them to easily do so
• Flattr one, hopefully, good such system
• Drupal could benefit from using it in one or
many ways
35. That’s it!

Can facilitate the received donations in a way an individual contributor is unable to.\n\nBy putting donations into a common pool an alliance would be able to finance bigger projects than the individuals alone wouuld be able to.\n\nThe alliances could also for such opensource work negotiate favorable terms with the members’ employers.\n
