I believe open source work is amongst the greatest works of charities ever. It is just staggering the amount of work that goes building/maintainer open source. And I possibly wonder every week on who are these wonderful people creating/maintaining them.

My heart goes to maintainer & family.

Everybody in this forum needs to do a bit.

Request everybody to donate generously via paypal mentioned in the link.

wrt FOSS as charity, the IRS has been resisting FOSS orgs applying for 501(c)(3) status for a while. Not the best world to live in.

@Dang : Could you please change the title to convey this better.

'Dhcpd will need a new maintainer' - doesn't tell the real story.

Sometimes you can say a lot more with fewer words. It's the title he used to make the announcement.
