So I had an idea last night that could help a lot of people out. South and Southeast Texas got hit hard with Hurricane Harvey right as VMworld got started. Cash and eletronic donations are awesome. But what about the useable swag we get and is left over from the vendor booths? Much of it can get thrown away.
Please if you are a vendor consider giving your unused shirts, bags, etc to a reilef organization to send to Harvey victims. It will be months before things even get to a semblance of order there. They will need all types of items and I know the @VMware community and #vExpert and @DellEMC and @HPE, @Cisco and all of the major vendors can pull together to help people in such need. Isn’t fixing problems the reason many of us got into IT in the first place?
I know as soon as I get back and am allowed to go into the area I will be taking my chainsaw and other tools to go help with disaster relief. What can YOU do?!?!?,
