Why Food for the Hungry runs Ubuntu

“Rick Richter is CIO of Food for the Hungry. In this interview
Rick explains why his organization is moving all of its computers
to Ubuntu.

“John: Tell me a little about Food for the Hungry and what you
do there.

“Rick: Food for the Hungry is a Christian relief and development
organization. We go in to relief situations — maybe there has
been a natural disaster or war — and provide life-sustaining
needs: food, shelter, whatever the need may be. For example, the
recent earthquake in Haiti. But the other part of what we do is the
sustained, long-term development on the community level. The idea
is to work with leaders and churches to better take care of
themselves rather than relying on outside organizations for
support.”
