Indie Relief: Help Haiti, Get Great Software.
We’re very pleased to announce that Things Made Out Of Other Things is supporting Indie Relief, by donating all our proceeds from sales of Eucalyptus today (January 20th) to Oxfam, in support of their ongoing relief efforts in Haiti.
What is Indie Relief? A huge number of independent Mac and iPhone developers have banded together to donate an entire day’s proceeds from sales of their apps to charities supporting relief efforts in Haiti. It’s a great idea, and it’s really heartwarming to see the massive number of companies and individuals taking part. Alongside Eucalyptus, almost 150 other Mac and iPhone apps are available, so it’s well worth taking a look at the list - you might find some software you love, and by buying it today you’ll be supporting a very good cause.
What’s the catch? There’s none! All proceeds Things Made Out Of Other Things receives from Apple for sales of Eucalyptus on the January 20th 2010 (PST) will be donated to Oxfam GB. Other participants will donate similarly (although there’s no central rule on time zone), to charities of their own choosing that are helping in Haiti. The actual charities are listed alongside the software on the Indie Relief site.
What are you waiting for? Go buy some software! Heartfelt thanks to Justin Williams of Second Gear Software and Garrett Murray for together organising this whole endeavour.
