Non-Profit Organizations in the Open Source Community?

Posted by Cliff on from the finding-places-that-give-a-little-back dept.

Jason Fisher writes "Where can I obtain a list of non-profit organizations (NPO's) in the Open Source (and Linux, etc) world? My goal is to get them added to DonationDepot.com's charity listings, which would allow donations to be given directly through the Web (tax deductible, of course!)."

    I've surfed the cornucopia of ikons on slashdot, Nowhere can I find an icon the lets me ask slashdot! So hence this posting. It's completely off topic I know, but I could not find a proficient icon for me to place this question in an appropriate context. So here goes:

    What effect does slashdot have on politics? If any?

      To ask Slashdot do the following:
      - select on the leftbar of your Slashdot Window "Submit Story".
      - in the screen that opens then you go to the scrolldown fields under "topics and section". Select the right one (with "article") and go down one item to arrive at "Ask Slashdot".

    Redhat and VA are both public companies, NOT non profit organizations. while(rant == true) { I really wish people would read the whole story before commenting and making asses of themselves. }
