I wrote to board list today: I suggest: - We set our goal to fully funding a sysadmin on subscriptions (say, by next year. So aiming for 360). - 90 a quarter. Count number of new subscribers. If we reach our goal before the three month period, we take the ruler down and add a Thank You note for the rest of the quarter. Like Wikipedia does. - May want to add a note like "Be the first Friend of GNOME today!" every day. behdad Shaun: Would you like to hack together some code based on the X number of donors as well? svg here: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/184285/gnome-pledge-banner.svg (or do we need one with 90 people on it and make it run for 90 days?)

The idea we had was to route the paypal mails to some script via procmail, and extract data there.

Fundraising Progress
Owen sent an email to the list a short while back about a FoG fundraising drive for a sysadmin: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2009-April/msg00025.html There have been occasional conversations on IRC about having a progress meter we could put on our web sites. I know some other people have been in talks about this. But I decided to JFDI. http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/fog/index.html What this needs is real data. It's being fed with dummy in an easy-to-parse format right now. I'm not afraid to extract stuff from a hard-to-parse format if I have to. Do we have any way of getting data? -- Shaun ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
