[Flightgear-users] Slashdot: Seasons Givings

[Curtis L. Olson]

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 ... :-)
