Hi, thank you for the great work. I was planning on making a very small donation as a end-of-year token of gratitude via paypal.
PayPal seems to be the most convenient way of donating across multiple projects and of course Debian has this venue described in the donations page. Unfortunately though when I click the link in the donations page (
the Brazilian Portuguese version of it) I am redirected to a donation form asking for US dollar values.
I know for a fact that it's possible to open that page in my own currency and I'd appreciate that because I don't know which sort of exchange rate and taxes would come from making a donation in dollars. I'm not asking this only for myself but maybe for dozens of people like me who tried to donate only to come up with this problem and give up.
Here is the code I've borrowed from another website which led me to a brazilian currency version of the page. I imagine it would be pretty simple to adapt this for other countries as well. I imagine that most donations come from the US or Canada but probably Debian, even more so than other projects, has a strong worldwide presence and userbase. Let me know if this ever gets implemented so I can proceed with my humble gesture. Thank you!
