9 Dollar donation to 0 A.D.
As an avid fan of the -best- historical RTS on Linux I donated 9 dollar to 0 AD. Development is moving very fast and it looks like the donations are spent wisely :).
The Wall building system has been completely redone and its looking great as you can see in this video:

Small donation to Ardour
Ardour is a hard disk recorder and digital audio workstation application. It runs on Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD. Its primary author is Paul Davis, who is also responsible for the JACK Audio Connection Kit. Ardour's intention is to provide digital audio workstation software suitable for professional use. [Wikipedia]
Why I donated?
I just donated one dollar to Ardour, a free and open source digital audio workstation for Linux and Mac. The main developer of this project works full time on open source, supporting himself with donations.
So even though I don't really use Ardour, I still think its important that this kind of libre software exists. Since he barely reaches his monthly goals in donations, a little bit of help is always appreciated.
Benefits for Donating
You can donate toward sponsoring issues or new features. Donors can download the executables for Linux and Mac.
What Will My Donation Change?
The main developer can support his family and work on Open Source software :)

Donation of 4 dollar to the 0 A.D. project
0 A.D. is an open source RTS game with amazing graphics and pretty advanced gameplay. All art-assets are licensed under CC-BY-SA, which is great imho, and the code itself is licensed under GPLv2. 0 A.D. is under active development by WildFire Games and they issue a new release every 2 months.
Why I Donated?
My primary reason for this initial donation was that they use the CC-BY-SA license for all their artwork, which allows you to share and remix even for commercial use. They also give away everything for free and there is no other accurate historical open source RTS game of this quality.
Benefits For Donating
You get a "Donator" rank on the 0 A.D. forum, you get listed as donator in the game credits and you will be added as donator to the play0ad twitter account.
What will my donation change?
This donation helped fund a month of development in which a couple of new features were added and pathfinding was improved.
How To Donate?
Donating is possible through Paypal and Flattr
