Linux Enthusiasts Raise Over $33,000 to Help Save Lives

"The LCA2010 conference is over, but the generosity of its delegates will leave a lasting impression on the Life Flight Trust.

"During the conference closing dinner at the Wellington Town Hall, attendees bid to win a unique opportunity to join an action-packed Westpac Rescue Helicopter winch training mission. All bids were donations to Life Flight.

"Delegates could donate online with their laptops and results were displayed in real-time on an open source application created by Andrew Caudwell of Catalyst IT."
