I agree with marioger. A thank you note would cost nothing and would be
nice. I became a member beginning of 2012 and as of today I haven't received
anything, save for a subscription to the trisquel-members mailing list.
Maybe the Trisquel USB key is in the mail - I have no way of knowing. I
think a little bit of transparency wouldn't hurt, especially since it seems
to be hard to find members.
For your information, here's the thank you note that you receive when you
make a donation to Linux Mint:
"Dear Donor,
Thank you for helping our project. On behalf of the team and as the founder
of Linux Mint, I would like to express my gratitude for your generous
donation.
Although the total income generated through donations and ads doesn't allow
us to gather a team of developers who would work full-time on the
distribution, it helps things a lot. We started advertising on other
websites such as distrowatch.com and we were able to acquire some equipment
to test our distribution in a better and more efficient way. Most of all,
this money allowed the developers to work more hours on the project,
although not full-time, and to put them in a more comfortable situation. The
money gathered also allows us to financially support sub-projects and to
invest in activities which will in turn allow the distribution to grow.
Our project continues to grow thanks to people like you and it's an honour
for us to acknowledge your contribution at
http://www.linuxmint.com/donors.php and as part of our monthly stats, at the
end of month on http://www.linuxmint.com/blog
We listed your donation as "2011-07-24 Canada Benjamin R. $20".
