The two aren't really mutually exclusive, is it? Feel free to provide a link here to the NGO to whom you donated.


Ok, my ACTION PLAN
a. what is the proposal
Provide a bounty for getting certain parts of Maemo (like Calender, Media Player, Browser) rewritten (or ported from Meego) as open source replacements. This should be in such a state so that it can be a part of CSSU. This can help in lengthening the life of our N900s



b. How are the funds going to be used?
There are two ways we can go with this.
a. We can either collect the complete funds together and divide it equally (or according to merit) and offer bounties for each individual project. For eg: Complete rewrite of calender, say $500, etc etc

b. Or each donor could specify whether he is donating for a specific project or to the general fund. This way, the projects that intrest most people will get a higher bounty and hence more chance to be solved quickly.

Something like this in principle



c. how much money do you expect to raise, etc. ie, target.
Something like $3000 would be fine for starters.
