Giving Tuesday offers a reprieve from the shopping frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday (so named for the huge discounts and bizarre store hours offered to consumers in preparation for holiday giving). From the wiki, #GivingTuesday™ is:

...a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the giving season added to the calendar on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. The second annual GivingTuesday is on December 3, 2013. In the same way that retail stores take part in Black Friday, we want the giving community to come together for #GivingTuesday. We ask that partners create and commit to a project for/on #GivingTuesday and then help spread the word to their networks.

Today we ask our readers: Which organization or group would you donate your time or money to? We've listed a few of our favorite friends in the community. Feel free to add your own open source project in the comments below!

This was a tough choice, as open source enthusiast. I voted for Open Source Initiative, with the Open Knowledge Foundation as second on my list.

Interesting poll for Giving Tuesday. I'm predicting quite a few votes for the Linux Foundation.

... all of the above. Since I had to pick only one, Open Knowledge seemed to cover a lot of bases.

I know that many open source enthusiasts would know how each of the organizations fit into the "big picture" but a brief summary may help those who sure what some of them do.

Shame that the Apache Software Foundation wasn't included. <code>:-)</code>

Totally our bad. So many great organizations to donate time or money to.

You don't make it easy, do you? :-) So many worthy organizations, so little time ...

Great list! Thanks for sharing it.

How about the <a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Mozilla Foundation</a> and the <a href="http://www.freebsdfoundation.org">FreeBSD Foudation</a>? The FreeBSD Foundation is doing their end of year fundraising campaign right now.

Agreed, both are great organizations. Literally, this poll could have a list of 50+ choices.
