   With just $16k let to go in the match I'm reminded that silly gimmicks don't usually work for this kind of fundraising. In the past I thought of ridiculous ideas - a letter to a loved one, thanking them for the time that the donor spends on free software (like as a holiday present!), performing a new software freedom song,...

   We once gave away a bottle of wine signed by wine developers! (they're mostly beer drinkers though)

   What is the silliest or coolest thank you gift you could imagine?

     @anna Yeah, the rules can be tough - often doing something like that causes so much work that the cost of the staff time fully offsets the relative donations! But I completely agree.
