Please help spread the word about the Software Freedom Conservancy

[Jeremy White]

Folks,

Tony at the Conservancy reached out to us to ask our help in spreading 
the word about Conservancy.

The Conservancy is our sponsoring organization, and they have been a 
great friend to Wine through the years.

As they requested, I'm sending an email blast to our mailing list to 
spread the word.  I'd ask you to scan their email and if you can help 
them in any of the ways they ask, please help them.  They're good 
people, and good for Wine.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Subject: 	Conservancy projects: help us launch the Official Conservancy
Supporter program!

Hi, all:

We at Conservancy are committed to doing whatever we can to support our
member projects, and to help you produce great, freely-licensed software
for the public's benefit.  At this time, we could use the support of
you, our member projects, as well.

Today, Conservancy launched the official Conservancy Supporter program
(http://sfconservancy.org/supporter/). This is our first campaign to
build awareness about Conservancy, and our first attempt to really
engage the public in a fundraising campaign.  While we're glad to help
you organize project-specific revenue-generating activities (e.g.,
project fundraisers, conferences, etc.), we've kept the percentage of
revenue we receive from member projects under our FSA so low that it
doesn't even pay for a single Conservancy staff member.  So, we need our
member projects' help to get the word out about who we are, what we do,
and how friends of free and open source software can become Conservancy
Supporters.

Conservancy Supporters will receive:
- an "Official Conservancy Supporter" badge for display on their
personal websites;
- a printable "Official Conservancy Supporter" card; and
- a snazzy Conservancy T-Shirt.
_
Ways__you can help spread the word_:

- Follow @Conservancy on Twitter and/or Identi.ca
- Tweet/Dent/Microblog about the Conservancy Supporter program on your
social media platform of choice, with a link to the campaign page
(please use the #ConservancySupporter hashtag)
- If your project has an official social media account, please use that
to microblog as well
- Send email blasts to your project's mailing lists
- Write a blog post or a testimonial about Conservancy (we'd really
appreciate it)

We thank you in advance for your support -- especially during this
giving time of the year!

Best, -Tony
