Ubuntu developers can now thank financially

In addition to the already known possibility in the new Ubuntu 12.10 beta with the inclusion of Amazon products in the search results relevant to the search, Canonical has opened the official opportunity to perform “donate” for its operating system through PayPal if you intend to download the image.

Probably, taking into account the specifics of its audience, the company offers to transfer money using an unusual form in its idea (the same used by the Humble Bundle), where you can choose what your money will actually go for. It looks like this:

It is designed so that one user can donate $ 16, although, in principle, nothing prevents to pay more or go to the download image at all.

However, at the very bottom of the form there is another reason: it is proposed to compare the fact that the price of a fashionable T-shirt is $ 20, whereas it is proposed to transfer only $ $ 16 for the development of Ubuntu. At the same time, when loading the server version of the system, no offers of support are already displayed.
