Yeah, we are planning on cycling around (mainly on proper tracks, nothing super remote) and then picking a spot to sleep for the night (or two if we are doing a rest day).

Looks like we will probably just attach something orange to our tent.

I am all in favor for spreading donations across many - especially smaller - projects. I think that there are two levels to donations:

  • The monetary one. Donating helps fund development either by paying for a full-time dev or by helping the dev stay financially stable to do a bit less work hours so they have time for the project.
  • The psychological one. Most people that publish their code online are not expecting this to become big. And when a stranger from the internet appreciates their code enough for a donation this is a huge motivational factor.

I even tend to think that donating 5€ more to GIMP is less valuable than giving the money to some random project.
