Almost we all use FOSS for daily works. I was thinking if we can contribute some money to some Open Source Projects.
I'd suggest beginning at an individual level. Select a software you use daily and, contribute to it for one month. See how you feel about it. Tell other people how it feels to be part of the project. Once you have a personal story to tell, you'd be able to reach out to more people.
and do not forget that contribution could be as simple as giving feedback, how the software works in a certain situation, or doing translation - or even just translating those easy strings that you know - or even correcting a string - or even correcting a typo or spelling mistake in the wiki or in the documentation. Or even giving a line or two of explanation of obscure points in the documentation. Or by just being there for them and talking about the software...
