Fedora people in Japan

[María Leandro]

Hola!!

I will like to extend this short words to express our support to all our
people living in Japan, and also to those Japaneses living in other
countries, our prays are with all of you. Fedora is not only a group of
people working and enjoying foss technologies, but also is a big family that
supports each other in every moment.

A huge hug to everyone and hope everyone is ok in this difficult moment.

Hi!

I work in the free media program, and we have a "donations" section
where we can collect funds for use in free media. I was wondering if we
could set up something similar quickly (or use the same account if
feasible) to collect funds which could be passed on to some organization
helping out in Japan? It's just an idea, and if we have people in place
to achieve this, it would really be awesome. 

I should have thought of this earlier, but I'm sure there's still a lot
we can help out with. 

Thanks,
Ankur

I like the idea of this but I think it would fall down in practice.

There are plenty of international aid charities that will be fundraising.

If my quick google search is anything to go by the Red Cross or The
Salvation Army are good options when trying to ensure as much as possible of
the donated funds gets to their intended destination.

I was writing this while Ankur replied, his thoughts tally with mine.

You are better off
leaving this to registered charities, as people can
reclaim donations on their taxes etc., and the charities don't pay tax
on anything.

Or we could all directly do our bit. It would save the time and energy
required in collection and co-ordination.

I pinged him on late Friday and he is OK.  I believe he is helping out with
SAR (Search And Rescue) activities.
