Just wondering if any of my fellow Android enthusiasts are also Craft Beer fanatics like myself? Hell, I enjoy it so much that I have invested in a local brewery.
Let's have some conversation!

This isn't an attempt to beat the moral drum, but has anyone bought a metaphorical beer or two for those who were integral in bringing root to the NC? I'm assuming there isn't a community pool for donations because of legal reasons, so how'd you go about it? Just sent it to an individual(s)?
Is it accurate to say that pokey9000, [mbm] from #nookdevs, and KCHASE731 (for having the balls to tear down his shiny new NC) were the driving force for this? Would it be possible to setup a community pool?
When I asked Poke9000:

Don't worry about it. It's likely I'll either wreck the connector taking it apart or nothing will come of it. If you've got the urge to donate, send it to to Cyanogen. Maybe he'll get enough to get a development NC once we get root.

I agree with you rabid_droid, we have some awesome devs that donate their time and skill, and I believe the community should make their lives easier.
Similar to your idea, I have been contemplating a fund that would put new hardware in the hands of developers. (This really benefits users with new devices as well.) If they are going to donate their time and energy, the least we can do is make sure they don't have to make the initial $250-600 dollar investment (depending on device). My initial idea was to have a fund, and then having fund-member-voting for which device and which developer to award the device to. Might even be able to use kickstarter to organize this.
I imagine XDA-Devs itself could benefit from some donations.

Fight Gone Bad 6
On September 17, 2011, CrossFitters from around the world will come together to endure 17 minutes of one of our most grueling workouts in honor of those men and women who have given a lifetime of service and sacrifice.
For 17 minutes, we will push ourselves further, challenge ourselves deeper, feel the doubt and wonder if we can make it, but then remember why we are there and appreciate fully those who we wish to honor. We turn to you, our community of friends and family, to join us by donating what you can or what you are inspired to give to two phenomenal organizations that provide immediate and measurable support without waste or delay.
The heart of an athlete can change the game.
The soul of an athlete can change the world.
Will you support my 17 minutes?
These are the charities

In for £10. It's a good cause so thanks for your charity work.

You survived that!
Thanks again for your efforts. These days Capitalism is just legalised greed, and keeps the money from reaching those who really need it. Charity work helps address the balance! Keep it up.
Hi guys it the month of November or as some as you may know it as Movember.
Men’s health is a cause I am passionate about but in order to make a difference I need your help. My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and in doing so, raise vital awareness and funds for mens health including prostate and testicular cancer.
I am asking you to help support my personal journey by making a donation. The size of which isn’t important, every little contribution helps Movember to continue its funding of world class programmes. If you want to know more about what you’ll be helping to fund, you can visit Movember's Program Overview page.
To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics:
• 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
• This year 40,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed in the UK
• 47% of testicular cancer cases occur in men under 35 years and over 90% occur in men under 55 years
If you’d like to help change these statistics, please donate to me online at: http://mobro.co/jonathanfoster
For more details, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website: http://uk.movember.com/about/funding-overview
Thanks in advance guys or at least for reading
You need a donation to help your moustache grow?
I think I might do no shave November too. There won't be much hair on my face though.

Then we can just donate directly to the charities that support prostate and testicular cancer and other men's health issues.

Yes you can and by donating via the link i have placed in the initial post this is what is done. It just registers as a sponsor ship to me.
Will make donation as long as you promise to post picture of end result!
Keep up the good work, all cancer awareness is good, I have non Hodgkins lymphoma, so big :thumbup::thumbup: from me
Thank you
I will be regularly adding pictures throughout the month.
Okay before you're going to read this, this might be a bit of a strange topic for XDA but I need everybody's help or sharing and/or contributing. If you don't like my project, please move to another thread and don't blame me. Thank you very much for your time and/or help! You're doing us a great favor!

Hello everybody,
From my own experience I know that teenagers suffering from cancer are most of the time a forgotten group. There are not much (psychological and fun) activities for them to do, to deal/cope with the cancer they have. They don't get the chance to express their emotions in their own way. They don't get the chance to just forget that they're sick, and enjoy the things that they can do. It's so important that they can do this and have the opportunity to do this.
Read my story/experience about how I felt when I had cancer (testis carcinoma with metastases on lungs and liver). I was a teenager at that time and there was no single activity for me to do. I was just alone in my hospital room, trying to fight and to deal with the cancer. There was no time for me to forget the pain and heavy fight. But I'm going to chance that!
What I'm going to do is to build a music room for teenagers in my hospital (for the cancer department), to let them enjoy music and let them do whatever they want. So that they can forget for a moment that they're sick. And the most important thing is that I want to make people aware of this problem. They need to see this forgotten group! But it costs money that I don't have and can't get a job for (consequentes of the treatment I had).
If you have some spare time please take a look at the special page I've made to raise money:
http://www.indiegogo.com/kidsmakemusic
Please help me out with this project, even a dollar will help a lot!
Kind regards and a lots of love from us!
Martijn
ps. If you don't like this project please don't blame me and let this pass by! But if you do like this and don't have a spare dollar please share it with all your friends and family and let them take a look at it. I'm not forcing anyone to give a little donation, it's your own choice. And I respect your opinion. And if you need more information about this project please contact me!

Thank you so much for the compliment.
Yay for autism support! I'm actually autistic myself, I'm very high functioning but I have some pretty severe limitations that affect my life daily. I'm so happy about all the autism awareness nowadays, back when I was in school I desperately needed specialized help but couldn't get it because things like asperger's & higher functioning autism weren't widely recognized at the time(this was in the mid-80s, I'm old). Back then, if a kid wasn't mute & rocking back & forth in a corner, they weren't considered autistic. I was just known as "the weird kid" & while I was given daily therapy to try and get me to talk more, that was the extent of any special help. The teachers didn't understand me & as a result, I got in trouble a lot & I did horribly in school despite testing in the top 5% in my state intelligence-wise. I really wish more help had been available back then for 'slightly autistic' kids like me.
But hey, the past is the past, I'm just glad for all the awareness today
