Wish list

I am working on many open-source projects on my free time. This includes quality code and user support, all done for free. Sometimes people are so happy with what I do for them that they want to reward me. I appreciate that. Unfortunately, I cannot legally accept money for the work. However, presents should be OK and are a great way to show your gratefulness. This is why I have set up this wish list, which you can pick from if you want to send me some present.

If you want to send me anything, just drop me a note (khali@linux-fr.org). Thanks! :-)
