Open Source Donations

By David Grant - Posted on 16 November 2006

The other day I was trying to think of how much I have donated to open source software projects in the past few years in total and so I decided to make a list:

October 22, 2008 - Wordpress Security Scan - $5
July 28, 2008 - Tomato Firmware - $25
March 27, 2007 - Scrapetorrent - $5
March 18, 2007 - Gentoo Linux Foundation - $30
Dec. 20, 2006 - Wikmedia/Wikipedia - $5 CAD
Nov. 2, 2006 - New system for releasing Drupal contributions (Drupal contributions release effort) - $10 USD
Sep. 29, 2006 - gentoo-wiki.com - $5 USD
Aug. 17, 2006 - Travis Oliphant (personal donation) for Numpy 1.0 - $20 USD
Oct. 24, 2005 - Amarok - $10 CAD
Aug. 22, 2005 - Wikmedia/Wikipedia - $5 CAD
Oct. 28, 2004 - unknown sourceforge project - $5 USD

I'll keep tracking them here in the future. Hopefully when I have more money I will be able to make larger contributions than just $5 at a time.
