aRS - thanks for mentioning this. I also did a lot of the rice thing - I thought it was a great idea.

Plus, it was a site where my vocabulary was appreciated (rather than complained about, like here .... heh heh heh just kidding ...)

good. but for how many points will they add euros. Do you know any figures for that?

[Former Member]

It's a bucket, based on the total amount of points earned by all community members during the period. It was announced at TechEd Bangalore last year and there are several blogs and posts about it here in the community.

The home page of both SDN and BPX has a weekly update, presently on the right hand side of the page:

If someone has more time but less SAP skills they can donate via [Freerice.com|http://www.freerice.com/] too.

Nigel James made me aware of this site on twitter.com (thanks yet again Nigel). I must admit after he did so, I spent a good deal of time there to make somewhat of a mark (not sure if it was meaningful or meagre). The point is in all of these endeavors: Awareness.

Transformations and Change are also an education process be they network transformations or changing the world. So by spreading the word you are indeed contributing to awareness. That is the very least we can hope for, and after awareness the next hope is for Care.

Of course the higher goal is Taking Action.

So Awareness->Care->Taking Action each of these removing us a step from blind ignorance and apathy.
