Linux Conf raises $33,000 for charity (ComputerWorld)
ComputerWorld reports on the outcome of the charity auction at linux.conf.au. "A $12,750 donation from Linux Australia on the night brought the total funds raised for the air rescue service to more than $33,000. [...] 'Free open source software is founded on generosity and these supporters have certainly taken that value to heart,' Life Flight Trust CEO David Irving said in a statement. 'The funds raised will enable 13 people to receive emergency flights, which is a great outcome for the community.'"

At the end of that week Rusty was likely to need to get rescued anyway.
Besides, *wenches* (several of whom are friends that I owe many favours to)!
