I’m writing this on a system made of re/upcycled parts running a free OS, the best I’ve ever used, which is developed & maintained by people, who I shall probably never meet, without whom none of this would be possible.
So it’s with sincere gratitude that I thank all involved in this distro, the devs, maintainers, testers, documenters, those providing support & guidance to the community, and also all the good folk who participate in the community by sharing knowledge, suggestions, and good will to others, even those who simply host the ISO via BitTorrent.
I won’t mention any specific names, as the order of mention or inadvertent omission may cause offence; you & we know who you are, we frequently see you helping out & probably benefited directly from your time & efforts.
Thank you all 
PS: I invite any who share this sentiment to drop a line here, if you wish.
