     @lorenipsum Honestly, it would probably only take a few instances of people publicly doing it and gamifying it during their talks to catch on.

     "And we all understand how critical little pieces are... Yup, that XKCD comic. I used it, so I'm going to donate $10 to $SomeProjectIUseOften. Everyone in the audience, I encourage you to do the same. CC $CustomEmailAddress your receipt, and we'll share the results at the end of the talk!"

     I've said it before, but if Randall Monroe could somehow successfully induce a donation of say ten bucks for each time someone uses That One xkcd Comic in a FOSS talk or blog describing the open source sustainability problem, said problem would be solved.
