Glad to hear you like Xubuntu! For this a few reasons, the Xubuntu team can't make money directly from Xubuntu. If you want to help, there are a few options: 1) We always need new volunteers helping us work with Xubuntu - time and talent is the best help anybody can give. You can read more about the opportunities to help at <a href="http://xubuntu.org/contribute/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://xubuntu.org/contribute/</a> 2) Xubuntu works with a few vendors that produce officially endorsed t-shirts, polos, stickers and more. Again while we can't make money out of these, the vendors put some items to the side based on the amount of sales. We then can give these back to the community via different contests and more. Read more about the products at <a href="http://xubuntu.org/products/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://xubuntu.org/products/</a> 3) Finally, if you can't help for whatever reason and don't want the swag, you can donate money to Xfce (the desktop environment used in Xubuntu) via Bountysource, or to the Canonical community project fund, where the Xubuntu team can request money from when needed; for example, we are running a virtual server to help with development with money from this fund.
