If the money comes and is redistributed, that's all that matters.

Good idea: we can end the 11/12 day by saying "oh, we have 5000€ and they will be donated to X (23%), Y (17%), Z (9%), etc. If you want to contribute to this community-led FLOSS donation campaign, please donate now!" > I don't think it's possible to ask people to donate on Meetup / > Eventbrite.
