We’d like to say an enormous 'Thank you' to all the indie devs who participated in DevAssist: Syria Relief! Also, a further thanks to those who submitted their sales figures. Based on that information it seems we've raised at least $3000.00 USD for charity in one day!

How Can Developers Participate?
If you are a developer or software development company and interested in providing help to the Syrian refugees:
- Email bela@infinitekind.com or tweet @theinfinitekind to indicate interest in joining DevAssist: Syria Relief
- We will add you to this page along with other participating companies with product links and information. Your entry will display the following information (which you will provide us):
- Name of product & product logo
- A short description of the product
- Developer/Company name
- A link to the Dev/Company website
- Name of charity that will receive your donation
- You will sell your software product through your company's store, App Store, Play store etc as you normally do
- At the end of the day, calculate your sales for the day and make a donation to a relief organisation of your choice that is involved in helping the Syrian refugees.
- If you're willing, let us know how much you donated to your charity so we can calculate a grand total. You do not have to share your sales numbers if you do not feel comfortable doing so. (Note: If you share this information with us, it will be kept confidential. We will only share the grand total of all the donations.)
Finally...
We also urge everyone who can to donate directly to the relief effort. If you donate, please be careful where you are sending your money. There are plenty of fraudulent web sites and spammers attempting to scam people who are intending to send money to relief organisations. Here are direct links to a few relief organisations:
- The UN Refugee Agency
- Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres
- Save the Children
- International Rescue Committee
- Migrant Offshore Aid Station
- Oxfam International
- UNICEF
Please help us spread the word by posting a link to this campaign site on your company's site, product pages, blog posts or other social media channels. Any help would be much appreciated!
