How to raise money to support your group
by Luis Gustavo Lira June 20, 2009

June 20, 2009

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 June 19, 2009

June 19, 2009

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

SFD Logo
by Thilo Pfennig April 4, 2009

April 4, 2009

Hi, I found that SFD does not have a stable logo but rather a new banner every year. I think the DFD has a much simpler and recognizable logo. The dove. I would suggest that we will create one simple logo, also? This logo we could use in every new SFD. BTW. who did the theme for the SFD wiki? Regards, Thilo
