The YafaRay Project and Software in the Public Interest (SPI) are pleased to announce an agreement to place Yafaray under the SPI umbrella as an associated project. SPI is an non-profit organization which was founded to help projects develop and distribute free open source software and hardware. SPI sponsors renowned projects like Debian, OpenOffice, PostgreSQL and others:

We have chosen this method because it helps us to handle monetary matters in an honest, aseptic and transparent way and to concentrate on what we like the most, raytracing. The advantages of joining SPI are not limited to raising donations in a neat way; SPI can use its leverage to reach agreements with corporations on other matters, for the benefit of associated projects. As a consequence of this event, we have set up a 'Donate' page to allow for donations. Take a look for more details:
