Desculpem o cross-posting, sei que muitos devem ter recebido... Mas essa é uma mensagem importante e interessante, pois como tento dizer por aqui, o importante é participar, como cada um pode ou como dito no e-mail: No donation amount is too large or too small. Ou seja se você tem um cartão de crédito internacional (ou uma conta no paypal) não há motivo para você não fazer a doação de 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 doláres (ou quanto for possível pra você). Vamos ser contados ? =) ------------------------- Histórico: http://www.fug.com.br/historico/html/freebsd/ Sair da lista: https://www.fug.com.br/mailman/listinfo/freebsd
