Others can chime in here, but the Xubuntu team is not an organization so there isn't really a specific place you can donate to directly to the team. But there are a few options: When downloading Ubuntu from ubuntu.com, there is a "Community projects" section which sets aside a portion for community work, such as flavors like Xubuntu (described here: http://community.ubuntu.com/help-information/funding/). Xubuntu has not dipped into this fund yet, but we may in the future. You can also get involved with the team and help support one of our marketing initiatives. Sometimes I'll work with a vendor to print up t-shirts or flyers, and this is done out of pocket and then folks within the community will pitch in to help me out. Finally, you could also support an organization that is *deploying* Xubuntu. We've profiled a couple on our site: http://xubuntu.org/news/tag/xubuntu-at/ http://www.freegeek.org/ and http://partimus.org have also done Xubuntu deployments (disclaimer: I'm on the board of directors for Partimus) -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel </BODY></HTML>
