[HOT] Hewlett Foundation support to HOT

[Heather Leson]

Thanks so much everyone.

Having activation documentation and support is core to sustainability.
Pierre and Andrew, you are tireless and very dedicated. It is my hope that
these funds will help you and contributors keep on doing great things.

One thing I'd like to say is that the work outlined by the Training,
Activation and Technical Working Groups as well as the others are very key
to the success of this.

Happy Friday,

Heather
