* Finally, I think that the FoG program is a bit US centric right now. There might be a lot of potential that we miss here. We might want to translate the page into multiple languages. We might want to check, if we can find charitable organizations in other jurisdictions that would be willing to take donations on our behalf and then spend it on Gnome love (think of Wau Holland Foundation as an example, who does this for Wikileaks ;). That way, a FoG donation would be tax-deductible in more jurisdictions or we could offer some other kinds of money transfer that is more common in a jurisdiction. Also, it should be technically possible to detect where our friends are coming from and convert the amount into their currency. Maybe just provide a box to choose the currency. For some friends, it may not be obvious that Paypal will convert to their native currency or they just wont take the hassle to convert it themselves beforehand to check if it is a feasible amount for them to spend.
Didn't we make arrangements to accept donations in boletos in Brazil? I remember Jonh Wendell was working on this. If so, we should explain how to give such donations on the page. Does anybody have a pointer to instructions? Brian cc:ing Jonh -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
