Linux Foundation courts individual members (Linux-Watch)Linux Foundation courts individual members (Linux-Watch)Posted Sep 23, 2008 10:24 UTC (Tue) by eru (subscriber, #2753)In reply to: Linux Foundation courts individual members (Linux-Watch) by k8to Parent article: Linux Foundation courts individual members (Linux-Watch) I've been wondering how I can meaningfully monetarily contribute to Linux (if at all). Support a distribution company that employs some key hackers? Eg. you could buy their for-pay version, or support network (or whatever the company in question calls its moneymaker), even though you might not really need to.

Keep in mind that donations are *much* more efficient than purchases. With purchases, a cut goes on taxes, another for the packing and trasport or web commerce company, the marketing, etc. With donations (to the right organisations, see comment below), you can be more efficient and for some people you can get tax deductions from your government or matching-contributions from your employer.
