end of year donations

[der.hans]

moin moin,

It's the end of the year, a good time to thank those who have helped us
during the year.

Many non-profits help us by supporting FOSS and open standards.

FSF, Ada Initiative, Software Freedom Conservancy, Software Freedom
Law Center, EPIC, Creative Commons, and EFF to name just a few :).

Many projects have donation options.

For instance: debian, LibreOffice, Jenkins, and several others can receive
donations through Software in the Public Interest.

Also: libbraille ( for braille readers ), Evergreen ( integrated library
system ), Inkscape, and several others can receive donations through the
Software Freedom Conservancy.

Maybe you've benefitted from a Free Software company such as Red Hat. I
believe there is only one trading day left in the year if you'd like to
give thanks via stock purchase.

Hmm, a couple of important Android apps for me are FOSS, time to add
donations that way as well :).

I also encourage small donations to specific projects throughout the year.

ciao,

der.hans
