[Madwifi-users] ANNOUNCE: madwifi.org joins Software in the Public Interest (SPI)

[Michael R. <mre...@ma...>]

Hi all.

We are pleased to announce that madwifi.org, which is now the official
name of "the MadWifi project", has joined Software in the Public Interest
(SPI), Inc [1].

During the past three years our project has grown considerably, and so has
the community of MadWifi and ath5k users. Lacking a clean and transparent
way to handle them we unfortunately had to deny offered monetary donations
in the past [2].

Our cooperation with SPI finally solves this long-standing issue. SPI's
offer to receive and handle donations from our users and taking care of
all the administrative work is a great relief, as it allows us to stay
focused on our development work. At the same time donors will benefit from
the fact that their donations might be tax-deductible in their countries.

We are happy to join esteemed projects such as Debian, PostgreSQL and
OpenOffice.org who already appreciate [3] SPI's services, and we look
forward to a close collaboration.

  -- The madwifi.org team
