agree, group donations a good idea . . and can I throw an option into the mix for future - diaspora ( http://diasporaproject.org/) - seems like facebook is determined to kill itself through greed and i wonder if a strong push of support at the right time could increase chances of flight to diaspora rather than (or as well as) google+ / twitter? 25 October 2012 08:56, Ben Sturmfels <ben@stumbles.id.au> wrote:

Would it be a good idea for us to pool a bunch of money and sponsor GNU MediaGoblin, with a single large donation in the name of Free Software Melbourne?
This is a great idea! Donations are the best way to contribute to free software if you earn a comfortable living but don't have the time to participate directly. I'm just disappointed I've already donated!
Perhaps we could do group donations regularly; a gold coin donation at meetings to the free software project of the month. Any thoughts? Of course it's no different to donating individually, but we would save on transfer fees and the total is more satisfying.
