There was a significant increase in traffic on the website (about 25%) and the user base grew by 6%. As with every release, we&#8217;re expecting the numbers to drop a little bit next month.<\/li>\n<li>We received more donations than ever before. 202 people supported us this month, for a total of $5,117. Whether this was in appreciation of the latest release or in reaction to the poor results the project got in April, it&#8217;s really appreciated. It is often said that Linux Mint doesn&#8217;t benefit from corporate funding, but we&#8217;ve got such a strong community. There aren&#8217;t many projects like ours with that level of support from their community. This is really inspiring. Many thanks to everyone involved in helping us.<\/li>\n<li>The overall income went up by 24%. May 2010 was the best month for the project since its creation in 2006.<\/li>\n<li>June 2010 should see the releases of two additional editions: LXDE and KDE.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donations &amp; Sponsorships: Many thanks to the following donors and sponsors for financially supporting Linux Mint: Donors: $200 (3rd donation), Terry Mansfield aka &#8220;tmansfield&#8221; (USA) $127, Thomas L.
