this is awesome - I wish that this could be made into a formal setup (FossFund ?) so that the rest of us who have a different fiscal year closing (March in India), can make the choice at the right time.
It is very hard to find the right clicks (paypal, etc.) to fund - say OpenSSH. Hell, I didnt even know that they needed funding until I accidentally ran into http://www.openssh.org/donations.html http://www.openssh.org/donations.html. Searching for "TuxOnIce donate" does not even bring up the paypal link right on its front page.
It would be great to have a Kickstarter.com for open source donations - basically a one stop page to search,click and send my money on its way.
EDIT: Humble Bundle's donation sliders are also a nice way to donate an amount and have it distributed the right way.
It would be doubly awesome, if I could donate, but also indicate a specific sub-project which I am interested in funding (e.g. multi-monitor support in Linux, etc. )
