Ok, everybody loves opensource projects!
An opensource project has many good noticeable features.
It is nice, it is beautiful, it works, it is secure and it is free of charge.
We use every day opensource projects but we always forgot to give our gratitude to people behind our favorite program.
A thank you email is just fine to express our appreciation to the lonely programmer.
But a donation is the best solution for giving our thankfulness.
I have written an opensource project myself too: pirsyncd and i’ve been grateful for all the love i am getting about it.
I have received patches, t-shirts, thank you notes, publicity via blog entries and donations.
All the above are extremely useful for someone like me. I am always trying to balance around zero on my paypal account and give money to other opensource project or services too.
So dont forget to give some money to people, even a small amount is important!
