I really don’t like this attempt to seek donations for open source projects. As an employee I don’t want to donate my wage for tools I need for work. I would pay for a certification that demonstrates my knowledge. As a business owner, I can’t donate to something without a clear business case. I can pay for certification because I can use that for promotion and as I recently found out having employees certified can reduce insurance costs. Open-source needs to learn how to work with business if it wants to not have to beg for donations. But I think a lot of the people who run open-source projects enjoy the piety that comes with begging for their noble projects survival.
