Deepening the GNU/Linux community
by shirish 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi all, Apart from the usual things that one needs to speak about Free Software, I have also made some pointers as to the way I see things in my community http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/deepening-the-gnulinux-com… This is just an attempt to let some of the developers, testers, users and to be users to know what some of the problem areas and atleast have awareness about them. Some of them have answers, for some answers need to be found and so on and so forth. Feel free to add or rip apart whatever you think is right. Also perhaps some of these questions could be used if found fitting with technical audiences (as they love challenges :) ) . Comments, suggestions, brickbats all welcome :) -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

How to raise money to support your group
by Luis Gustavo Lira 20 Jun '09

20 Jun '09

Hi, I am curious whether any of the groups subscribed to the list are successfully using Ads or other kind of advertising on their blogs/sites to raise money to support their ongoing efforts. If anyone has experience with approaching corporations or foundations for money to sustain projects in exchange for ads on their site. Another way to think about it is whether projects can make money offering services. I'm doing some research on sustainability and fundraising. We are using adsence and amazon on our blogs however our founds sources are the traditional, usually International NGOs with local chapters in Peru: Ashoka, Lemelson, NESsT, Tecnoserve, etc. http://scitechbizdev.blogspot.com/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ¡Obtén la mejor experiencia en la web!

SFD is on Talk Like a Pirate Day?
by R. Steven Rainwater 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

I just noticed that SFD 2009 is scheduled to occur on International Talk Like a Pirate Day (19 Sep). Is that intentional, perhaps to raise the topic of software piracy or something? Or was it just a coincidence? I'm betting the SFD t-shirts and artwork this year have some sort of pirate theme! :) -Steve
