There is an article on slashdot this evening called "Season's Givings".
http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/05/12/18/1453256.shtml?tid=105&tid=95&tid=4
I feel I must respond because I know that many (if not all?) of you read
slashdot, and in this season of new hope and giving you might see this
article and be overwhelmingly tempted to donate something to the
FlightGear project. :-)
FlightGear is itself a gift from the flightgear developers, so instead
of giving to the givers, I encourage you all to set your sites on the
needier and worthier causes (not just now, but throughout the year.)
We all watch the news and are aware of the many different issues around
the world where there are people in desperate need of even the simplest
basic things to survive. But I (and I suspect many others) get so
caught up in our day to day stress and struggles that it is really easy
to lose sight of anything beyond our own little scope of reality. So
here's a little reminder and encouragement to those that care about the
world, to maybe take stock of what you've given in the past year, and
think about what you might give in this next year, and where you might
give it most effectively.
Seasons greetings from the Olsons. :-)

P.S. I can still photoshop out most of my gray hair ... :-)
