If I recall correctly, Scott said onstage that some/all of the
conference proceeds would be going directly into this fund. So this
might need to be revised upward by 50-100% sometime soon :)

I think you misheard it.  The above is money earmarked for Git at
SFC; the admission for GitMerge were going to SFC general fund
without earmarked for us, IIUC.

Yeah, that's my understanding as well.

To elaborate on this a bit more, there are two ways for people to
support software freedom conservancy (SFC) by donation:

 - People can give money to the Git project, a member of the
   conservancy.  90% of that money will be earmarked for the Git
   project's use, and the rest goes to general fund to run SFC.  The
   "Donate" button on http://git-scm.com/sfc goes to this pot.  The
   "Check" option on http://git-scm.com/sfc can be directed to this
   way by earmarking the money for the Git project.

 - People can give money direct to the conservancy.  The "Check"
   option on http://git-scm.com/sfc can be directed to this way by
   not earmarking the money for the Git project.
