My company spent CAD $50K developing Android support for the previous version of Slate with the hope that the community would take it up which I completed and which we contributed for free. This was after it was one of the most popular outstanding GitHub issues for 2 years.

Unfortunately, several months later the creator of Slate did a major (and really great and probably necessary) rewrite but it removed Android support and it's non-trivial to put Android support back in and that's a big cost for my company (which didn't even get a chance to use that version of Slate yet) to burden alone.

I proposed a paid plugin which many were in support of, but after receiving many requests for a sponsored model and a user committing to help raise the funds, I started a Kickstarter. Unfortunately the user that was originally going to help raise funds got a new job and was unable to commit to helping with the fundraising.

So far, there is CAD $10,500 raised out of $30K but I know that there is another $6500 committed coming in so we are at CAD $17K out of CAD $30K.

There's only 9 days left in the campaign. Any ideas on what to do, who to reach out to and how to reach out to them to complete this fundraising?
