The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park in the UK is seeking donors to help maintain and renew the site. This site was the focal point of allied efforts to break the German Military Codes and is credited with shortening the war by two years by successfully cracking the codes and aiding in the D-Day invasion, among other military operations. A large number of the brightest minds worked with the bleeding edge technologies of the day, the best known of whom was Alan Turing. It is sometimes called "the birthplace of modern computing"
My professional life owes a large debt to the seminal work in computing and cryptography that was done at this historical location. The two major areas that I have spent my professional life in (Artificial Intelligence and Cryptography/Security) have a strong link to this place and to Turing in particular.
Please consider a small donation in any amount you can afford to help this historically significant location and check out the site at:
