Donate to FOSDEM http://archive.fosdem.org/2009/support/donate <p>FOSDEM is an event organized for the community by the community. As such, we think it is important to keep access to the event free.</p> <p>The event is organized by volunteers who don't get paid and don't have commercial interests in the event. As one might imagine, however, the organization costs a lot of money and other resources.</p> <p>The main characteristic of FOSDEM is that it is a non-commercial event. To keep it that way, we think the best way to fund the event is to ask for support from the open source community on a voluntary basis.</p> <a name="return"><h2>Donors Return</h2></a> <p>We're asking you to support the event by making a voluntary donation.<br /> As a return to donors, various prizes will be given by us and our sponsors.</p> <p>The draw works dynamically: for every multiplication of &euro; 25, your chance to win one of the prizes below will increase (example: for &euro; 100 you have four (4) times more chance to win than for &euro; 25).</p> <p>Note that you have to donate at least &euro; 25 to participate in the draw.</p> <ul> <li>3 <a href="http://www.nokia.com/n810">Nokia N810</a> devices (sponsored by <a href="/sponsors#nokia">Nokia</a>)</li> <li>3 BUG devices (donated by <a href="http://www.buglabs.net/">Bug Labs</a>)</li> <li>20 international <a href="http://www.linux-magazine.com/">Linux Magazine</a> subscriptions (sponsored by <a href="/sponsors#linuxmag">Linux Magazine</a>)</li> </ul> <p> Other gifts are given for donations depending on the amount of money, to each donor: <ul> <li>&euro; 25 or more: a FOSDEM T-shirt!
