Dear Free Software Supporter,
The Free Software Foundation
(FSF) will have a booth at
FOSSY (August
1–4, 2024) in Portland, OR,
this year.
Would you or someone you know
be interested in helping us
run the FSF
booth at Portland State
University? Doing so would
involve face-to-face
advocacy on behalf of free
software, soliciting and
accepting donations
for the FSF, and selling FSF
merchandise -- all to raise
awareness and
funds that power our
campaigns.
If you or a friend could help
us, please let us know by
replying to
this email by Thursday, July
18.
The shifts we need covered
are:
-
Day 1:
August 1, Thursday
- 09:00 - 10:00 -- Setup

If you can help, please reply
with answers to the following
questions:
-
What is the best phone
number to reach you?
-
Is it OK to share your
contact information with
the other
volunteers or, possibly,
the organizers?
-
Do you have access to a
vehicle, and, if so, would
you be willing
to either bring
merchandise to the venue
and/or ship it back after
the event?
-
Which of the shifts above
would you be willing and
able to take?
-
Will you need the FSF to
get you an exhibit-hall
pass, or will you
already have a conference
pass from some other
source?
Please let us know if you
would be able and willing to
volunteer your
time. Conference booths are
one of the most important ways
we
introduce new people to free
software, GNU, and the FSF!
They also
raise funds that help fuel our
work for the rest of the year
and
beyond.
Thank you for supporting the
FSF!
Sincerely,
Jeanne Rasata
Membership Coordinator
