+<p>The last few days I came across a few good causes that should get
+wider attention. I recommend signing and donating to each one of
+these. :)</p>
+
+<p>Via <ahref="http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2013/18/">Debian
+Project News for 2013-10-14</a> I came across the Outreach Program for
+Women program which is a Google Summer of Code like initiative to get
+more women involved in free software. One debian sponsor has offered
+to match <ahref="http://debian.ch/opw2013">any donation done to Debian
+earmarked</a> for this initiative. I donated a few minotes ago, and
+hope you will to. :)</p>
+
+<p>And the Electronic Frontier Foundation just announced plans to
+create video documentaries about the excessive spying on every
+Internet user that take place these days, and their need to fund the
+work. I've already donated. Are you next?</p>
+
+<p>And for my Norwegian audience, the organisation Studentenes og
+Akademikernes Internasjonale Hjelpefond is collecting signatures for a
+statement under the heading
+<ahref="http://saih.no/Bloggers_United/">Bloggers United for Open
+Access</a> for those of us asking for more focus on open access in the
+Norwegian government. So far 499 signatures. I hope you will sign it
+too.</p>
