<h1>FSFE introducing "Supporters" and two small tasks for you</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p newsteaser="yes">
|
|
It's now possible to become a public <a href="http://fsfe.org/support">supporter of FSFE</a>.
|
|
This allows you to easily show that you
|
|
care about Free Software and support the FSFE's activities.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Why?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>a) FSFE needs a better way to measure how many people care about Free
|
|
Software issues, and b) FSFE wants to be able to demonstrate how many
|
|
people support our mission. Other organisations do this with by using
|
|
Facebook "friends", and Twitter "followers", but FSFE does not wish to
|
|
force anyone to register for an external service to show that they
|
|
care about <strong>our mission</strong>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>What does it mean?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Becoming a Supporter does not cost anything, and Supporter names and
|
|
e-mail addresses will not be released. Only the total number of
|
|
supporters will be published. Supporters may receive occasional
|
|
important information from us, at most three times a year. As before,
|
|
they can subscribe to
|
|
<a href="https://fsfe.org/news/newsletter.html">our newsletter</a>,
|
|
discuss ideas on FSFE's public mailing lists,
|
|
make a <a href= "http://fsfe.org/donate"> one-time donation </a>, and
|
|
<a href="http://fsfe.org/join">join the Fellowship </a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Two things you can do to help FSFE in less than 10 minutes:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>1.</strong> <a href="http://fsfe.org/support">Become a supporter!</a> <br />
|
|
<strong>2.</strong> Ask your friends and colleagues -- by e-mail, social networks, or in
|
|
person -- if they also want to become a supporter. You can e.g. use an
|
|
URL like <strong>"http://fsfe.org/support/?YourFellowshipLoginName"</strong> for this.
|
|
This way you can see who you've encouraged to subscribe
|
|
at <strong>"https://fsfe.org/support/stats?ref_id=YourFellowshipLoginName"</strong>. You can
|
|
see the <a href="https://fsfe.org/support/stats">progress of supporter numbers</a>.
