Oh, if I could guarantee at least €750 per month in donations, I would happily quit my day job and devote myself full‑time to #FreeSoftware. I’d expand my current contributions to #Debian, #GNOME, #Ubuntu, #FDroid, and other projects that interest me but for which I currently have no spare time.
Any ideas on how this could work for an individual developer stuck in Iran?
@danialbehzadi that would be great! Here are two examples of how people did that:

Sadly, in Europe/US, I think most people believe they can't donate to someone in Iran because of sanctions. It would help if you explained the details of that. I don't know the answer. One thing to check would be if you are eligable for NLnet grants. They don't fund work on Debian directly, but they do fund work bootstrapping key tools like Android SDK or Gradle
