Please Help with the Fundraising Committee

Dear Foundation Members & Plone Community --

The Plone Foundation formed a fund raising committee to help brainstorm and 
manage fundraising efforts for the community.

The scope of the committee is:

- plan fundraising activities to support the Foundation and the community's 
assets (like plone.org)

Some *possible* ideas might be: planning an ongoing PayPal "give" button on 
plone.org; selling t-shirts or other Plone-themed items; selling ad space on 
plone.org or other sites, etc. Of course, you probably have better ideas than 
these--and that's why you should join.

Everyone is invited to help out, and we'd love everyone's input in this 
critical area. You don't have to be a foundation member to be on the 
committee, and service on a committee is a great way to earn the merit to 
join the foundation.

Alan has written an initial proposal for a fundraising project (I'll get him 
to send a copy to the mailing list).

Munwar Shariff of CIGNEX (a Foundation board member) has offered to chair this 
committee.

If you're interested in helping out, please join the committee mailing list 
at:

Thanks,

- j.

Joel Burton,
for the Plone Foundation Board
