What about a raffle type of thing.

You could have just for fun raffles for low cost trivial things, but put some kind of fun community connection to it.

You could also have hardware and components and larger items that the grumpy editor likes. Maybe the hardware vendor would provide the product if asked.

It always seems difficult to know what hardware has open drivers and works best for the open software community, Personally, that is the major consideration when I go hardware hunting. If the grumpy editor provided some information and had a product raffle, well, it might be a fun thing to try. For instance, if grumpy editor found a motherboard that was a good Floss board, subscribers might be willing to enter a raffle to get the product so they could build a box for someone they know.

Grumpy editor might raffle RAM and other components.

I keep thinking of details the would need to be thought about, but I suppose you will understand the concept.
