From 60a353ca33eb6dd65fb3fbdcd31b5598368532c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: per1234 Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 00:32:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Remove donation links from readme The Arduino company is no longer soliciting monetary donations. Community members who wish to contribute to the project still have opportunities to do so via the other options listed under the "How to contribute" section of the readme. Those who wish to make a monetary contribution can still do so by purchasing official Arduino products. For this reason, that part of the donation request text is preserved. Since it doesn't make sense in its previous location under a "Donations" section after the removal of the context of other monetary contribution options, that text is hereby moved to the "How to contribute" section. --- README.md | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 16ce361..2f7f81d 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -41,6 +41,10 @@ In order to ease code reviews and have your contributions merged faster, here is - Maintain clean commit history and use meaningful commit messages.
