New submitter ChronoEngineer writes "Recently the Free Software foundation launched a new fund-raising system starting with the GNU MediaGoblin project. Rewards from its new tiered donation reward system include physical objects such as a 3D print of the project's mascot as well as digital ones (Rewards List). This gives free software projects an alternative crowd-funding source where all of their contributions go to advancing free software, since the administrative cut taken from the earnings goes to the Free Software Foundation. Chris Webber, of GNU Mediagoblin, mentions this as one of the reasons he chose the FSF over Kickstarter for his project."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=The+FSF+Adopts+the+Kickstarter+Approac h+To+Fund-raising%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FTa7AqK)http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F12%2F10%2F17%2F0044259%2Fthe-fsf-adopts-the-kickstarter-approach-to-fund-raising%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/10/17/0044259/the-fsf-adopts-the-kickstarter-approach-to-fund-raising?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
