+
+# I. Introduction
+
+This crowdfunding concerns two projects at the same time:
+
+* FusionInventory
+* FusionSuite
+
+The ambitions, and therefore the major works, have already been underway for several months, even several years.
+
+<br/>
+
+# II. Projects
+
+<br>
+<br>
+
+# II.1. FusionInventory
+
+FusionInventory has started its transformation.
+
+The agent is being completely rewritten, in RUST language.
+
+The version will be version 3.0.
+
+This agent allows you to perform several operations on your IT equipment:
+
+* automated inventory of computers and servers
+* network discovery
+* network inventory (switch, printers, etc.) via SNMP
+* application deployment & launch of commands, scripts, etc.
+
+This version will be a version compiled in machine language and will be faster, more robust and will avoid having a program interpreted on computers (better in terms of security).
+
+The server part (which controls the agent and/or receives information) was a plugin in GLPI. It has been [abandoned](https://fusioninventory.org/news/2024/03/27/plugin-fusioninventory-gsit-glpi-support-status.html).
+
+There are/will be at least two servers:
+
+* integrated in GSIT (fork of GLPI)
+* integrated in FusionSuite (see the following paragraph)
+
+<br/>
+
+# II.2. FusionSuite
+
+FusionSuite is a software, started in 2021 and developed at about 60%.
+
+It is a web & mobile application that allows you to manage:
+
+* its assets: computers, screens, tables, cars, rockets... (you choose what you want to manage)
+* ITIL: support tickets, changes...
+* security: CVE of applications
+
+A fairly advanced configurable workflow will also be part of it, allowing operations to be carried out via internal or external triggers.
+
+
+<br/>
+
+
+# III. What will this funding be used for
+
+Currently, I am working on these 2 projects in my free time.
+
+It is frustrating, because I cannot go as fast as I would like.
+
+This funding will allow me to work 100% on these 2 projects for 1 year and therefore to do long sessions of coding or writing documentation; this will save a lot of time and finish **version 3.0 of FusionInventory** and **version 1.0 of FusionSuite** more quickly.
+
+It will also include the documentation to be written, providing support to the community...
+
+<br>
+
+# IV. Where is it happening?
+
+All the funding information is on this link [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ddurieux/free-software-fusioninventory-30-andand-fusionsuite-10).
