Just to let you know, the FSF is running a fund-raising campaign for 2007. There is a target of 300 new members.
If you find GNU software useful and want to support free software, joining the FSF is a good way to do that - it costs $10 per month (or $5 for students). The money helps to support FSF campaigns and the running costs of the GNU development infrastructure. To join or find out more, go to http://www.fsf.org/ On that page there is a new video message from Eben Moglen, FSF's legal advisor, with an overview of their plans for next year regarding Microsoft, software patents and DRM. Thanks for your time. Have a good Christmas and New Year. -- Brian Gough (GSL Maintainer) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peter Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: FSF year-end fund-raiser for our 2007 campaigns We are announcing today the beginning of our year-end fund-raiser for our 2007 campaigns for software freedom. Our modest target is 300 new FSF members or $50,000 - comes first: http://www.fsf.org/ Your support today will also ensure that we can continue our anti-DRM campaign, DefectiveByDesign.org, which has to date: * secured the pledges of over 15,000 technologists to take action to stop DRM * organized the hugely successful "Oct 3rd Day Against DRM" * delivered a clear message, through major press coverage of our actions, that DRM is anti-user and anti-consumer. Visit http://www.fsf.org/ now to view Eben Moglen's appeal, in which he discusses the Microsoft and Novell deal, GPLv3, DRM and software patents. Please help us reach our target. Spread the word and forward this e-mail or the video link, invite a friend to join or donate to the FSF, ask your company to become an FSF patron. The FSF campaign for software freedom needs your support. Thanks. -- Peter Brown Executive Director Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St. 5th Floor Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Help-gsl mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gsl
