The Linux Foundation launches their own branded Visa card
The card isn’t just handy for showing your dedication to the open source cause, but it’s also great for helping them out, too. For each card activated, The Linux Foundation will receive $50, and they will also pick up a percentage of each purchase made by users. Apparently, 100% of the proceeds will “go directly towards providing community technical events and travel grants for open source community members in order to accelerate Linux innovation.” The current executive director of The Linux Foundation, Jim Zemlin, says that there’s a whole bunch of ways people can contribute to the organization (be it by code, or other means) but now they can do it “by carrying Tux in their pocket.”
