This week's donation went to the LXQt desktop. It is a lightweight desktop that was born from the merger of LXDE and Razor-qt. It is currently available in around a couple dozen Linux and BSD distros. The code is licensed through a combo of GPLv2.0 and LGPLv2.1.




The project's main website is here:

https://lxqt-project.org/




The source code is available on Github:

https://github.com/lxqt




The project has a presence on Mastodon:

https://mastodon.social/@LXQt




If you want to help the project financially they accept donations through their Open Collective:
