Insane effort. This sounded like a pipe dream just a couple of years ago. Congrats to everyone involved, especially to those who drove the effort.

The Debian group is admirable, and have positively changed the standards for OS design several times. Reminds me I should donate to their coffee fund around tax time =3

I always want to donate more to open source projects but as far as I know there aren't any I can get tax credits for in Canada. My budget is strapped just enough that I can't quite afford to donate for nothing.

Any Canadian residents here know of any tax credit eligible software projects to donate to?

Depends on where you live, work, and invest. Still, I would recommend chatting with a local accountant to be sure if a significant contribution to a donee qualifies as deductible. Note most large universities will be registered in both the US/Canada.
