"I have never been more encouraged and thankful to Free and Open Source
communities. Three months ago I posted a request for help with OCR’ing
and processing 19th Century Newspapers and we got soooo many offers to
help. Thank you, that was heart warming and concretely helpful– already
based on these suggestions we are changing over our OCR and PDF software
completely to FOSS, making big improvements, and building partnerships
with FOSS developers in companies, universities, and as individuals that
will propel the Internet Archive to have much better digitized texts. I
am so grateful, thank you. So encouraging."
