Hi, I was thinking about fund raising for the TDF, given we will be at a big event coming up in the USA, well over a thousand Linux enthusiasts and I dare say many, in only 12 days, it is no surprise.
Many LibreOffice supports and well wishers will be in that crowed, I would say. Here is an idea then: We hold a raffle at the show. For what - for a poster. Here is scaled down image: (coincidentally making a nice desktop background on many monitors_ http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Scale_poster-lax_lnd-1680x1050.png The poster would be 36" x 24" and mounted. Suitable for framing. It will be prominently displayed in the LbreOffice booth at the Southern California Linux Expo We sell raffle tickets of $1.00 each for the one and only copy of this poster. _All_ proceeds go to the TDF fund raising drive. Well, what do you think? What I am looking for then are two persons. One would sponsor the production cost (Exact price delivered with direct email to me) I am quite certain your donation will be multiplied! I am absolutely convinced that it would generate a few hundred dollars, rather easily. The second person - I am looking for someone that will pledge to match the amount raised at the show. It's that simple. Thank you for your time, your consideration on this issue and your contribution.
