No, nothing stopping you from donating.  But I think it would mean more if it
was shown that LUGs support this project, through mass donations, or other
support, don't you think?

Which do you think is more newsworthy (not that we would be seeking this
directly): "John Doe donates $XXX to OLPC", or "local area linux groups donate
$XXX to OLPC, pledges future support as well"? (Assumming John Doe $XXX
donatation is a small amount)
