Donating to Open Source projects feels great. No doubt about that.
But you should get something for your donation [other than great software], right? When you donate to PBS you get a coffee mug... so what would you get, as a perk, when donating to Open Source software (like the projects on this site)?
Well, I had a few ideas that you can now choose from the Donation Page. And I think they're awesome.
1) Name a Distro in Linux Tycoon
[You give me a name. It becomes a default distro in the next version of Linux Tycoon.]
2) Have a Character named after you.
[Tell me your name. That name will be used as a character in Road-Sign Hank or 2299 (game or comic). You can let me know if you have good/bad guy preferences... but no guarantees are made as to the survivability or alignment of your character.]
3) Bryan Says Anything on Video
[You have 140 characters. I will say it. On YouTube. No guarantees on how I will say it. But it will be said! This is your chance to put words in my mouth. Use this power wisely.]
4) Custom Limerick Video
[Give me a name and/or a topic. I will write an original limerick and recite it on video. No guarantees of any kind. Other than it will be a limerick, and it will be based on what you requested. And end up on YouTube.]
5) Buy A Bryan For a Day
[You can choose from any of the projects at Lunduke.com. Games, apps, videos, anything. I will provide you with a To-Do list for that item. You will tell me the top 2 most important items to you. I will spend one full day working on those items.]
The various items require different donation levels (as they require different amounts of time/investment from me).
The first 4 are just plain fun. The 5th item ("Buy A Bryan For a Day") is your way of helping to direct effort towards the projects you care most about.
You can donate over on the Donation page... or just right here. Every dollar goes towards supporting the Open Source projects here (Apps, Games, etc.).
