It is already mid-July, and while summer is in full swing the weather doesn’t seem to know it quite yet. However, unlike the variable weather, our tradition of helping open-source projects and charities every month remains constant. This month, for the first time, the beneficiaries were selected by Viktor Petrenko, who has been with our Łódź team for a couple of months now.
Viktor has decided our donation should go to the Linux Foundation, which supports the development of the Linux operating system. All of our team members agree with the choice, because we’ve all used Linux on workstations, laptops, servers, and phones (most of us have Android-based handsets) for years. We would like to thank the foundation for all its work so far, and we hope its future efforts to make Linux ever stronger will continue to be successful.
Our other July donation, according to Viktor, goes to the World Cancer Research Fund, an organization that supports research into how lifestyle, particularly nutrition and physical activity, affects cancer risk. Since its foundation in 1982 it has raised over 100 million dollars to fund scientific research, significantly advancing our knowledge of cancer and cancer prevention.
