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.

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!
