Dear Friends and Partners of OX,
There is no time more fitting to say Thank You and to wish you health and prosperity as this year comes to an end. From everyone at OX: we hope that your holiday season is filled with happiness, joyful experiences and timeless moments with your loved ones.
This year, Open-Xchange is especially excited to share our good fortune with a few global initiatives and local charities in 2016 to do our part in making the world a better place.
OpenStreetMap
A fantastic open source project which creates free geographic data without corporate surveillance. By supporting alternatives, we can protect our data from becoming controlled by monopolistic data collectors and regimes.
Open Mind Festival
The Open Mind Festival is an annual event taking place in the historical market square of Gräfenberg near Nuremberg. The festival is the response to years of nazi violence and has stood for human rights, democracy and tolerance for open minds and lifestyles that protect individual freedoms.
AIDS Help (corporate headquarters of Open-Xchange) is a charity working to prevent AIDS among young people as well as supporting those who are HIV-positive or suffering from AIDS.
Sea Watch
Since 2000, more than 23,000 people have died trying to reach Europe´s shores. Sea Watch this summer alone saved more than 2,000 refugees in the Mediterranean Sea.
Thank you sincerely for your collaboration that has made 2016 another amazing year! We wish you a successful start to the New Year and look forward to evolve our continued partnership.
