Thanks you for posting this. I understand and share your caution about |
| 21 |
posting about fundraisers, but there are a few issues worth |
| 22 |
"retweeting". I think this is one. |

openssl + heartbleed and all that made me aware how tenuous some |
| 25 |
critical opensource projects are. Another example is bash. Yet another |
| 26 |
is gpg. Its good to get the word out. |
