+ <p>I was happy to discover a few days ago that the
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux / Debian Edu</a>
+project also this year received a Christmas present from Another
+Agency in Trondheim. NOK 1000,- showed up on our donation account
+December 24th. I want to express our thanks for this very welcome
+present. As the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project is very short on
+funding these days, and thus lack the money to do regular developer
+gatherings, this donation was most welcome. One developer gathering
+cost around NOK 15 000,-, so we need quite a lot more to keep the
+development pace we want. Thus, I hope their example this year is
+followed by many others. :)</p>
+
+<p>The public list of donors can be found on
+<a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html">the
+donation page</a> for the project, which also contain instructions if
+you want to donate to the project.</p>
