Hello guys,
It's time to start working on the Fiire Chief support to bring it back into 0810. I know what i need to do, and that it will take approximately 20 hours to complete. My rates have been discussed in other threads, but I need to know if this is still wanted, if so, once I get the minimum contributions to cover the 20 hours of work, I will start work immediately.
-Thom

I sent some money on 08/20/2009, and at this moment Im sending a little more.
Just one question, when Fiire Chief finally works in 0810 I will need make a fresh install or can I just upgrade my current instalation?
Tks Thom

...Upgrades to 0810 are quite simple:
sudo apt-get upgrade
There is not an upgrade path from 0710 to 0810.

I thought I had made that abundantly clear by saying that I knew what the problem was and how long it would take approximately to fix it.

true - but what I can't get a handle on from this thread is, have you received many donations, and if so how far off the target 20 hours are you? As I say, I have made a small (tiny) donation... but as soon as I get a job I will gladly contribute a more realistic amount (at the moment it is all about scraping together rent! a feeling you are well familiar with!)

Nobody cares to have spent on something that does not work anymore? I used this control less than 5 months.
There's someone interested to resolve the problem ($$)?
I would, but not by donating $ 100. If more people contribute I think we could solve this problem without expensive just for some of us.

Since Fiire Chief is no longer available, have you guys considered switching to a Gyration remote which is supported? Trying to be delicate and understanding of those who have Fiire Chiefs, the money Thom wants to add support would buy a whole lot of Gyration remotes. You can buy a new Gyration remote that is plug-n-play with LMCE for $35 shipped (at least in the US). I don't think there are enough people interested in paying for Fiire support to come close to that.
