For the last couple of years I have started to spread a little bit of money around to various project. I took a look at my annual contributions and realised that it corresponded to roughly 0.7% of my disposable income (or my income times 0.007). To me, it is below the threshold of what I would even realise that I spent. It is roughly the amount I would pay if I went out with a friend, had a burger and a couple of beers. Given the value I get from using all of the great projects in the #fediverse and other open tooling, I think it is a reasonable amount to pay back - #YMMV, ofc.
0.007 has a nice ring to it - so by this I am starting what I have decided to call "the zero-zero-seven initiative". The purpose is to create awareness about financial contribution to the projects we use every day. The goal is to have more people contribute small amounts to projects - at a level that does not ruin people's economy. It is effectively applying "the Salami slicing tactics" to financial contributions. If enough people contribute small amounts - it will have a colossal impact.
