We do things which we believe will help us accomplish our goals.
Each of us chooses to be involved in things which interest us, engage us, move us.
Sometimes it means we want to provide support to the efforts run by other people.
These are some of the organizations which I support.

Software Freedom

I am an advocate for F/LOSS. Free/Libre Software (sometimes called 'open source') is the key to personal and organizational success. If you call it FOSS, I won't mind. You enjoy the freedom to use Free Software for any purpose, examine the code, modify the code and redistribute. Get involved, Hey?
