 Transactional Memory, 2nd Call
 ==============================
 
+UPDATE (September 2016):
+
+    **This call for donation is closed.  Thank you everybody for
+    contributing!**
+
+    *We have actually more money in the pot that we can use in the near
+    future.  As it turns out, STM is a hard researchy topic.  Remi Meier
+    is still actively working on this topic as part of his Ph.D. thesis.
+    Armin Rigo thinks more fundamental work is needed, which will
+    eventually lead us to a next generation attempt.*
