Hurricane Katrina: Call for support from the Open Source Community
On Monday, August 29, Hurricane Katrina literally blew through the coastal
communities of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama. As you've no doubt seen on
the news, the devistation was catastrophic and those who had the least to lose
lost the most...in many cases all they had including property and life.
OSSI's main offices are located in Hattiesburg, MS and also at the Stennis Space
Center. All of our people are accounted for and are fine. Since we work in a
virtual world, our operations have not suffered. Thanks so much for all the
notes and calls we've received.
Community Support:
Right now, there is a tremendous need for help and support. We operate within a
"community" model where we share knowledge and ideas with anyone for the
collective good. And good things that are given come back around. I'd like to
call for your support for those who really need it right now by offering a few
dollars through the Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org). The need is critical
and will be much appreciated by people you'll never know.
If you think about it, make your DONATION
(http://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp) in the name of OSSI so that
people will know that the Open Source Community is standing up and being
counted.
Thanks for your consideration.
Regards,
jmw and OSSI staff
PS: thanks KB for the insight. You're a wise and compassionate man.
