Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects?

If so, how do you choose which ones to donate to? Do you prefer regular or recurring donations? What payment methods do you like to use?

I wish I could donate to many software projects I rely on regularly. Unfortunately I barely make a living now and being in a developing country makes donations hard to do with all the fees and regulations, as well as the difference in currency (1 dollar is 7-ish of our currency). I still feel guilty about not being able to do that. But maybe in the future I'll be able assuage that guilt. I am learning how to code though and can already make some things. I'll look into contributing code when I feel I can do that.

Well, I can't help you with the fact that you don't have a whole lot of money to begin with, but as far as the fees and regulations and currency issues, Monero would solve that.
