[kwlug-disc] Off topic with an ask

[Doug Moen]

Lots of people in my tech news feeds and social circles are getting involved.

MCC in Kitchener is taking donations for humanitarian aid.

They have a long standing presence in Ukraine, and are well organized.

We just donated to the Red Cross (for Ukraine, with matching funds from the federal govt).

Lots of other local groups are mobilizing as well, including Ukrainian chuches.
