We're in the final stretch of our fundraiser, and we have a special contest for you! Background: On Nov 11, 2018 a plane landed in Boston. On board, one of the passengers was Craig Topham, because the next day he would start a new job as the copyright and licensing associate for the FSF. Besides beginning to know the "T" and learning other Boston area eccentricities, he started collecting coins he would find on the ground. A penny here. A dime there. 1/2

Top view of jar of coins. You can clearly see about a dozen pennies, half-dozen dimes, a couple nickles, and a few quarters.
Jar of coins with "Free Software Foundation" and its logo in the background. Atop a printer in the background is a plastic gnu doll.
