It’s donations time again! By tradition, in the middle of the month we’re making donations to open source projects and charity organizations. This month’s beneficiaries have been chosen by Piotr.
Our first donation goes to the Apache Software Foundation, which supports numerous open source projects. The Foundation was formed in 1999, and their flagship project is the Apache HTTP server, world’s most popular web server since 1996. We have been using the Apache server for years in our work, both as a crucial development tool, and as a platform on which our clients’ applications are launched. We also often use other software that is developed thanks to the support of the Apache Software Foundation, such as Lucene, Cordova, or JMeter. Thank you, ASF guys!
We are also sending a donation to the ”IRMA” Foundation, located in Poznan, which is devoted to promoting the idea of the use of search and rescue dogs. The Foundation is named after Crumstone Irma, a German Shepherd that helped rescue people trapped under collapsed buildings after the bombings of London during World War II. The Foundation was formed recently (it’s less than a year old), but has some dedicated people on board and is growing quickly. “Irma”, we wish you all the best in your efforts!
