FreeCAD

For me, I would definitely put the money into the open medical science stuff going on, like projects that are working towards open source insulin production and pumps and stuff. A close relative is diabetic (T1), and the things he buys just to stay alive are not cheap, and I would want that to change. The work those people are doing is extremely important, since insulin production is currently a very complex process and it takes significant time. Large Pharma companies have labs dedicated to doing it and they've streamlined the more traditional ways of doing it, which, due to the complexity, those methods have a very high (financial) barrier to entry, which keeps other, more generic labs from producing the substance needed for diabetics to live.

I'm talking about liquid insulin.

The FOSS push on this is focused on making a simpler method of production, and delivery of the insulin, giving third party and generic drug manufacturers an alternative to the high-cost of setting up a manufacturing line for insulin, and hopefully driving costs down.

They're also working on delivery systems, aka insulin pumps, that are FOSS. The problem there will be regulatory approval; the medical community is fairly strict when it comes to this stuff.... In any case, as nice as many things mentioned here are, I always feel that those guys always need help.

Syncthing. With godot as a close second.

Half to debian, half to i3wm.

Definitely this order:

• FreeCAD

• KiCAD

• Jellyfin

• Bazarr

• Immich

• Prusaslicer

• Homeassistant

@nutbutter

Four of many possibilities:

Anki
Feeder
Joplin
New Pipe

SyncThing, Pi-Hole, LibreOffice, cherrytree, and Debian.

I'd also donate to ReactOS. Nobody uses that (me included) but I see a lot of effort, I'd donate to them

Definitely Blender

• SuperSlicer
• klipper

• FreeCAD
• Inkscape
• The free software foundation

Easily the surface-linux kernel project, that level of dedication is incredible and without I wouldn't have my favorite laptop running linux right now.

And probably all of KDE's various developers if possible, since I both love the actual desktop environment and all the various tools they provide (like Elisa, Kdenlive, and KDE Connect).

GrapheneOS. But hard to say because anything that gives us a choice besides either Apple or Google or Facebook, etc, we desperately need.

FreeBSD

They would be the ones I've been using for long: Inkscape GIMP xcfe gnome Mx linux Libreoffice Handbrake Rawtherapee Krita Easytag VLC Rhythmbox

There are more. I just donate some bucks now and then but I would like to help them all with more.

Waterfox, CalyxOS, Signal, the JPEG-XL team, GNOME

I'd donate it to one or more open source projects that make the most positive impact in society

AROS

Kdenlive

FlorisBoard

NetBSD

NATRON (Nuke like compositing engine)

MBS-Labs (human 3D models in Blender)

Beehaw, megalodon and firefish

2004Scape.org or Godot (that’s already been mentioned though)

Minetest maybe. Microsoft is making some bad choices for minecraft and I'd like to see more love for its open source competitor.
