In case Ubuntu folks are reading this.

I am from India, working on our startup - our running costs are USD 500 per month, thats what we are running on. If I was in a regular job, I would surely contribute to your campaign, but I cant afford it.

If I want to download Ubuntu Desktop, you are asking for donations, which I would love to give, but are taking payments through Paypal. You need to setup a payment gateway here in India - use the same systems we use to top up our mobile phones, so we can contribute to you, instead of going through Paypal (because I am not credit worthy, and there are govt rules too).

We might not be able to make big donations, but India has 1 billion people, and I am sure, India has quite a few Ubuntu users, and I am definitely a Happy one.

yeah,me too! I would gladly donate 0.5K to 1K rupees!(if it was as easy as paying for pizza)
I'd love to see this happen as well. India has a vibrant Linux community.
