This is my first meditation. :)

just read the linuxfund story on slashdot. here is how linuxfund support works from linuxfund page:

The #1 way to help LinuxFund achieve its goals is to apply for and use the LinuxFund MasterCard. Every time you use the card to make a retail purchase, MBNA America Bank N.A. (the issuer of the card) will make a contribution to LinuxFund at no additional cost to you. You’re supporting open source development by simply using your credit card.
here is a response from slashdot:
According to public records they were bring in revenues between $100K to $200K per year at their high point. Its definately a viable model for funding open-source projects it just looks like its in need of volunteer support.
Although i can't get the fact about how much money the program actually generated. but that sounds like a brillian idea to get funding. I would love to have my credit card work that way and donate few bucks to the Perl Fundation while i spend.

plus, we can get a camel on the credit card (assume O'Reilly give permission). here is what the linuxfund mastercard looks like :)

feasible ? doable ? thoughts ?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
