+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&amp;nbsp;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. :)&lt;/p&gt;
