If you’re on GitHub and see that your favorite open-source code, tools, or packages have a sponsorship for the developer, please consider doing it today.
We (Adafruit) sponsored oerdnj on GitHub, and we get a massive benefit from Ondřej Surý, who maintains Debian and Ubuntu packages that allow installing multiple versions of PHP. This includes backporting security updates to PHP7.4 and PHP8.0, which are no longer officially supported by the PHP.net folks.
I am the main Debian packager for PHP and other packages under DEB.SURY.ORG name. As a service to the community I provide Ubuntu PPAs for PHP, Apache2, nginx and others that are widely used. I also run personal Debian packaging repository located at https://packages.sury.org/
Join a worldwide celebration of generosity – GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people worldwide to come together through generosity in all its forms by sharing acts of kindness and giving their voice, time, money, goods, and advocacy to support communities and causes. More about Giving Tuesday on their site – https://www.givingtuesday.org/
The posts on Adafruit and its social media are resources, groups, causes, organizations, and more from the Adafruit team and community.
Since we’re in the techy and maker circles, we’ll spotlight many charities and open-source efforts.
The posts are not sponsored in any way. Adafruit provides paid time off for charity for all team members all year. We also want to thank the Adafruit team for the biggest gift one can give: their time. Many posts are about the charities, groups, and organizations in which the Adafruit team participates.
This year, we are getting the word out about ones we have not covered before, so don’t worry if you don’t see a previous one here!
Check the past and present posts on Adafruit with the #GivingTuesday tag.

While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
