Hi Mark,

I noticed you made some changes to the latest donations window which are
definitely an improvement.  I'm wondering if we should also change the
donate buttons to "Donate via Linux Foundation" and "Donate via CERN" to
distinguish them.  I know that they are separated people tend to not
read things despite our best intentions.

Cheers,

Wayne
