I will take this up at the next NYC-cassandra meetup. I have been on the fence for "charging" for events for a while, but a nice donation piece would be pretty cool if it can fuel the project.
I have also joked about creating CaSETI (Search for Extra Testing Infrastructure) and building a docker that would phone home for testing work, that we all can run on our workstations and xboxes.
