Giving Tuesday – Sponsoring on GitHub… Debian, Ubuntu, PHP packaging … #GivingTuesday 💻📦

If you're on GitHub and see that your favorite open-source code, tools, or packages have a sponsorship for the developer, please consider doing it today.

We (Adafruit) sponsored oerdnj on GitHub, and we get a massive benefit from Ondřej Surý, who maintains Debian and Ubuntu packages that allow installing multiple versions of PHP. This includes backporting security updates to PHP7.4 and PHP8.0, which are no longer officially supported by the PHP.net folks.

OR! Check out Ondřej Surý's Patreon -

Join a worldwide celebration of generosity – GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people worldwide to come together through generosity in all its forms by sharing acts of kindness and giving their voice, time, money, goods, and advocacy to support communities and causes. More about Giving Tuesday on their site – https://www.givingtuesday.org/

The posts on Adafruit and its social media are resources, groups, causes, organizations, and more from the Adafruit team and community.

Since we’re in the techy and maker circles, we’ll spotlight many charities and open-source efforts.

The posts are not sponsored in any way. Adafruit provides paid time off for charity for all team members all year. We also want to thank the Adafruit team for the biggest gift one can give: their time. Many posts are about the charities, groups, and organizations in which the Adafruit team participates.

This year, we are getting the word out about ones we have not covered before, so don’t worry if you don’t see a previous one here!

Check the past and present posts on Adafruit with the #GivingTuesday tag.
