Hello All,
Almost we all use FOSS for daily works. I was thinking if we can contribute some money to some Open Source Projects.
The FSF India is geared for this type of activity. Donate to the FSF. Bingo! The complications of registering, accounting, auditing and administering a "not for profit" organisation requires serious and sustained effort of several people. Pious thoughts apart it is unfeasible in all but the rarest of rare cases.
Infact more funding will be required for maintainning such an organisational system. So using an existing system specially ment for such work is recommended.
Consequently you are better off donating to the FSF.
Yes I agree on that as well. And add to it that it is a national organisation which means more projects can be spanned. Happy hacking. Krishnakant.
FSF india + banks can launce credit card which has FOSS logos (penguin, firefox etc). And bank will take care of cutting 50-100 RS per month
