Most of the money you see in and around Free / Open Source Software, Hardware and other projects is in the hands of large groups and self styled organisations, with little or none reaching the actually contributors/maintainer/developers of your favourite projects who actually do the core work.
Consider donating to projects and persons directly.
If you choose to do so, you can donate to me via the link below. Any donations are greatly appreciated and go towards hosting and hardware so I can continue contribution across a wide variety of projects.
