To be clear, the problem described above was not a FLOSS Fund donation
and was unrelated to any activities at KWLUG.  One of the things we ask
folks to provide when making a nomination is the link to the projects
donation page so that we are assured that they want money.

You can make an impact on a project that is important to you.  Find out
what they need.  Then nominate them for the FLOSS Fund.
