Let's talk about the Free Software Foundation

[jeff127]

I've donated small sums to them once or twice, but my financial priorities are on other things, at least for another 16 months. A few years ago, even if you donated a tiny amount, they would post you a physical news bulletin, even if you're far away (eg. New Zealand).

If I live in the US or the UK at some point in my life, I'd be more interested in becoming an FSF member, because I'd attend the conferences and meet the most 1337 Linux users. I haven't contributed much to Linux, besides simply using the software :p
