Because It's Much Better to Give than Take: Oregon Recycler's Laptops Stolen
What is it about the holiday season? It throws a spotlight on the best -- and worst -- aspects of human nature. It holds true in the open source world. NextStep, a hardware recycling and refurbishing organization in Eugene, Oregon, was burglarized earlier this week. Hardest hit was the organization's Ubuntu Laptop Program. NextStep provides computers, technology and job skills training to Lane County Oregon's under-served residents, and its Ubuntu Laptop Program is a major source of funding for these endeavors.
That's the bad news. The good news is that helping NextStep might be as easy as looking through that box of hardware you've got in your office.
Do Open Source projects really generate funds from donations??
A whole lot of projects on Sourceforge have a donation button. I support Open Source software but I hate to admit that I've never contributed any funds to a project. I have given $20 to the Obama campaign though! Just wondering if people are actually donating money to Open Source software and if anyone had an estimate of the amount raised through donations across projects and for specific projects
