Orthanc

First a very quick history of Orthanc and its maintainers:

The situation in February 2022 is as follows:

Unfortunately, with only a few days funded each month, I do not have enough time to create real new features in Orthanc or to effectively maintain it.

Therefore, I am calling for the community to help fund the Orthanc project and mutualize the development cost between as many backers/sponsors/donators as possible.

If you are a Medical Doctor using Orthanc in your daily activity or a freelancer providing Orthanc support, remember that you have paid for your desk or your printer but, so far, you have probably not paid anything for Orthanc. If you think Orthanc is as important to your business as your desk or your printer, then feel free to become a backer of the Orthanc project on Open Collective.

If you are a small clinic using Orthanc in your daily activity, a software company that is integrating Orthanc in its solution, remember that you have paid for your X-Ray, office coffee machine or cloud infrastructure but, so far, you have probably not paid anything for Orthanc. If you think Orthanc is as important to your business as your X-Ray, your office coffee machine or your cloud infrastructure then feel free to become a sponsor of the Orthanc project on Open Collective.

My first goal in funding is to reach 5.600 EUR a month in order to pay 80h a month to maintainers so as to get back to more regular bug fixes, new features, and community support!

Note that, when contributing financially to a free and open-source project, you are not hiring the maintainers for your own needs. You are invited to suggest new features and request bug fixes, but the maintainers are driving the development and roadmap, trying to accommodate the needs of the whole community. 

Thanks a lot for your support.
