The warm month of May has finally arrived, and the warmth from the heart comes even more naturally. In the May edition of our monthly donations campaign, we are happy to support the open source project Xmonad and Fundacja Podróżnych Ugościć (the Travelers Welcome Foundation) – and these recipients were selected by our web developer Łukasz Kozłowski (whom we once again congratulate on his recent third work anniversary).

Xmonad is a program that manages application windows in the operating system, with a primary purpose of letting the user conveniently and efficiently manage windows using only the keyboard. Łukasz’s words leave no doubt that this goal has been achieved: The big advantage of Xmonad is its configurability, thanks to which everything works the way it is convenient for me and after years of use, everything is within the reach of pressing a few keys. This improves not only productivity, but above all the comfort and ergonomics of using the computer, which I spend a large part of the day in front of. I can’t imagine going back to managing windows with a mouse. It is therefore not surprising that this is the second time that Łukasz has decided to support this specific project.
Fundacja Podróżnych Ugościć
Łukasz lived in Warsaw until recently, and it was in the capital that he came into contact with Fundacja Podróżnych Ugościć and its activities supporting refugees. These include, among others, organizing transport for people from war-torn Ukraine and providing help to those in need on the Polish-Belarusian border. Łukasz justified his choice of the Foundation as the recipient of our financial support by saying: I believe that everyone in need deserves help, especially people who have been forced to leave their homes and are looking for safety in our country.
