Hi :)

I never noticed that there is a donate option on the homepage.

>From Germany it seems to be very simple to donate:

https://www.archlinux.org/donate/ > how donations work
http://www.spi-inc.org/donations/ > Donations in Europe can be done
through our partner in Germany, ffis e.V. If you are interested in using
their bank account (to save international money transfer costs), please
check the instructions for donating to ffis e.V.. >

"Note about Donations

When making a donation, please always notify the association at donation
(at) ffis.de so we can track the transaction properly. Below is
information about the ffis e.V. account:

Bank code: 280 501 00
Bank: Landessparkasse zu Oldenburg
Account number.: 10126407"

I only wonder about two things.

1. Do they care for "Arch Linux" as reference?
2. Will it be anonymous if wanted or is everybody listed as
   "Past donor" at https://www.archlinux.org/donate/ ?

It's very strange to list people who donated, at least if it's unwanted
by somebody who donated.

If I donate to what ever and I want my friends to donate too, than I
send a request privately and let my friends know that I donated, but I
never ever would spend when it would be made public in general. If I
want to have it public, I'll do it myself.

Regards,
Ralf
