It’s high time for this month’s donations to open source projects and charities (we’re actually a bit late, since we traditionally do these on the 15th day of the month). Krzysztof Pisera had the privilege of selecting the project and organization to support.
The open source project selected by Krzysztof is KeePassX – an application that securely stores and manages passwords. In this day and age, when every Internet user has tens and hundreds of accounts/profiles on numerous websites, a tool like this is indispensable. KeePassX is used by a number of guys in our team, both on Linux and Mac OS X (there’s also a version for Windows – the program is truly multiplatform), and we all like it a lot. Hats off to the developers for a job well done!
We’re also making a donation to the “Paka dla bezdomniaka” (which can be loosely translated as “a gift to a homeless animal”) initiative, which was established to collect funds to feed the animals living in the shelter in Korabiewice. Among them are not only dogs and cats, but also horses, goats, and even bears. Many thanks to the caretakers of the animals in the shelter, and to the organizers of the campaign for their hard work!
