Dear Subscribers,

At LINGUIST over the past two years, I have had the 
opportunity to learn a great deal about web technologies 
and programming for interoperability.  While attending 
grad school at Eastern Michigan University for Artificial 
Intelligence, LINGUIST has provided me with day-to-day 
challenges that have allowed me to hone my skills as a 
programmer and a computer scientist.  LINGUIST has provided 
a social and work experience component to my education 
that I believe has no match in any computer science program 
in the world.  It is through donations from subscribers and 
supporters like yourselves that allows LINGUST to provide 
this excellent learning experience.

My Projects at LINGUIST have included LL-MAP, Job Announcements 
Submission and Editing Facilities, GOLD, The LINGUIST List 
Jobs Bulletin, and the newly released static language map 
feature available from the LINGUIST List Language Description 
pages.  Many projects that I have worked on at LINGUIST have 
required the learning of new programming languages and web 
technologies.  A few of the Technologies that I have learned 
at LINGUIST include XSLT, Perl, ColdFusion, PHP, Advanced 
JavaScript toolkits, ESRI Web mapping technologies as well as 
JSP and ORACLE.  I can't think of anywhere else that I could 
have gained the hands-on experience of working on/with all of 
these technologies and more.

LINGUIST is a very friendly environment to work in, and has 
provided me with a warm and welcome home for over two years 
thanks to the donations of subscribers.  Continued donations 
to LINGUIST every year ensure that there is always a place for 
students from many disciplines to work together toward the 
betterment of the field of linguistics through cooperation and 
communication. Please help us continue our efforts by donating 
today:

Thank you for your support,

Benjamin J. Cool

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
