To Whom Should I Donate?

jasonmanley writes "I currently use DesktopBSD. The other day I gave some thought to donating money to the project, but then I got to thinking — to whom would I donate the money? DesktopBSD benefits from FreeBSD and KDE among other projects. What about software with a smaller focus, such as OpenSSH? In fact, there are heaps of other projects' software embedded in FOSS packages, and I would like to know who the community thinks should get the donations."

Donate to GNAA's Penis Rocket To The Moon (PR2TM) Project!

GNAA Gay Niggers Association of America - http://www.gnaa.us/

GNAA is collecting donations to raise money to build a hand crafted penis rocket to launch gay niggers and one token gay cracker (from our newly merged Cocksuckers For Christ Ministries gay white cracker organization) to the moon and plant a Goatse flag! Your donation will include your name engraved in bronze, with a collection of your semen or vaginal secreations if you so offer them, inside the tip of the gay nigger penis rocket penis head's hole. The resulting broadcast will be WORLD WIDE and LIVE! You don't have to join GNAA if you're not a gay nigger or cracker, but you can participate in launching a gay nigger penis to the moon for the first time in history!

Donate between now and June 1st, and receive a free Penis Rocket To The Moon bumper sticker, or your choice of Goatse hats which spring open when you pull a string (hidden in your pocket).

Donating to Stallman's fan club hardly makes the world a better place, I'd rather donate to the Catholic Church. If you must, donate to the SI (which is a lot more pragmatic).

Digistan??

Inspiring ideas, but the name is unfortunate.

I keep thinking of a backward country run by the Ayatollah Stallman that represses women (by refusing to talk to them about anything other than code and sci-fi) and persecutes those unbelievers who fail to support the FOSS revolution.

FreeBSD has more money than they know what to do with, IIRC.

this may come as a suprise ... but sometimes other people besides the questioner read the answers.

Shocking I know.

And he _did_ say "donate" and not "donate money". Right. So this answer was just in case there were Slashdot readers currently unaware of the concept of Open Source and how it works? I dunno, maybe I'm just cranky from a poor night of sleep but to not answer the question even a little (still didn't give any help as to where the donation should go), instead opting to spout some tired FOSS cliché strikes me as particularly useless.

And the quesioner said "donating money".
