I do have this in mind, as part of our program at <https://my.fsf.org/donate/directed-donations/working-together>, we will ask FSF members whether they want to contribute some additional money to some specific areas. It is also possible that free distros could become a part of this program now, as we expand it. -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: 61A0963B | http://status.fsf.org/johns | http://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
