Over the past few years, there has been a trend among independent software developers and small indie studios towards supporting the work of charitable organisations through special promotions or direct donations. Promotions such as the Humble Bundles have seen developers donate some or all of their proceeds to charity while spreading the word about their software.

This year, I have decided to be a part of this trend.  I will be donating 25% of my iOS software development proceeds during March to Comic Relief. I will also be attending NSScotland later this year, where attendance fees are directly donated to Developers Against Poverty. 

I'm pleased to see and be a small part of this apparent movement within the independent developer community and hope to participate more in the future.
