regarding donations: I am wondering -- is there significant additional bureaucratic/infrastructural burden of adding additional relatively easy to "engage" into lines for "micro-donations", e.g.
- automated regular (e.g. monthly) donations via paypal (e.g. how http://accessiblecomputingfoundation.org does it) - Android market App (could be just for donations or actually ship Debian background/theme) Quite a few *Debian booth visitors ask on how to donate and we direct them to the website etc... I bet many forget/nevermind to mess with it later, so wouldn't it be nice just to carry qr-code's for paypal and Android "Play Store" so donating for them would be as easy as to point camera to it right on the spot... ?
