Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 16:21:15 -0500 From: Chris Webber <[email protected]> Reply-To: Chris Webber <[email protected]> To: Rob Myers <[email protected]> Hello all, I'm excited to announce that GNU MediaGoblin has launched our new fundraising campaign. We've got a wonderful new video that I think clearly explains our goals for the coming year... check it out <http://mediagoblin.org/pages/campaign.html>! Thanks to your support, this last year has been really excellent! We've pushed out five major releases, and hosted six successful internships through Summer of Code and Outreach Program for Women. Plus, we began integrating federation into the main GNU MediaGoblin codebase and making a general purpose federation library called PyPump. We want to make the coming year the year of /Getting GNU MediaGoblin in the hands of the people/! So we're asking for your help. We've partnered up again with the Free Software Foundation <https://fsf.org>, and we've got a lot of cool things planned: wrapping up federation support and releasing version 1.0, adding new privacy features, podcast support, and making GNU MediaGoblin even easier to run and deploy -- oh yeah! We're offering some sweet rewards! Take a look <http://mediagoblin.org/pages/campaign.html>. Did I mention that since the FSF is a 501(c)(3) charity, your donations are tax-deductible in the U.S.? This also means if your employer matches charitable contributions, you have the option to magnify your donation to GNU MediaGoblin! And finally, for folks who dig our work all year round, we've set up monthly donations. Thanks again for your help! /You/ make this possible! Christopher Allan Webber, GNU MediaGoblin lead developer PS: Anything you can do to spread the word of the campaign REALLY helps! Word of mouth from our supporters is the most effective way to get our message out there, so if you can tell your family and friends, and post to your blog or social networks... we'll be able to build the future of the Web! PPS: Thanks again!
