We need a big push for donations to meet our goal so that we may print materials to hand out at the convention. This is the largest community marketing event we've had of this kind so please help make it a success! If you're a blogger or YouTuber, or anyone, please try to spread the word and call for donations. We can't do this without you! </div> <div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Many thanks,</div><div class="gmail_quote">.danny</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br>On Thu, Dec 24, 2009 at 19:23, Danny Piccirillo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:danny.piccirillo@ubuntu.com">danny.piccirillo@ubuntu.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:12px;color:rgb(51, 51, 51)"><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"> <a href="http://www.ubuntu-massachusetts.com/events/9/" style="color:rgb(153, 153, 153);text-decoration:none;clear:right;float:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"></span></a><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;clear:both;text-align:center"> <a href="http://www.ubuntu-massachusetts.com/events/9/" style="clear:right;float:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:12px"></span></a><a href="http://www.ubuntu-massachusetts.com/events/9/" style="color:rgb(153, 153, 153);text-decoration:none;clear:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em;display:inline !important" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"></span></a></p> <font color="#000000" face="arial"><div style="text-align:justify"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><a href="http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/12/ubuntu-will-be-at-anime-boston-2010.html" target="_blank">http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/12/ubuntu-will-be-at-anime-boston-2010.html</a></font></div> <div style="text-align:justify"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;clear:both;text-align:center"> <a href="http://www.ubuntu-massachusetts.com/events/9/" style="clear:right;float:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="500" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PtyHEChBKZw/SzPUnZXHMFI/AAAAAAAAd_M/tX6hLus69LY/s640/ubunchu-anime-boston-meter.png" width="240"></a></p> <div style="text-align:justify"><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px">Many many thanks to everyone who has donated to the <a href="http://www.ubuntu-massachusetts.com/events/9/" target="_blank">Ubuntu @ Anime Boston</a> campaign so far. It hasn't taken us long at all to surpass our first primary target of $700 and guarantee the Ubuntu Massachusetts LoCo Team's presence at the event. We have officially secured a booth from which we can showcase and promote Free and Open Source software to thousands of convention goers! This would not be possible without your generous support, so thank you all again; your contributions are invaluable to us.</p> <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><br></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px">Now that we will be attending, we need printed materials to distribute. Our next primary goal is for an additional $1500 to have copies of the <a href="http://www.ubunchu.net/" target="_blank">Ubunchu Manga</a> to give out. After we reach this milestone, we can get a lot more for a lot less. Community marketing events of this size are a rare opportunity, so lets make the very best of it! We welcome ideas and feedback in the comments or by email.</p> <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><br></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px">Please donate here:</p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"> <a href="http://www.ubuntu-massachusetts.com/events/9/" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu-massachusetts.com/events/9/</a></p></div></span></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:small"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12px"><br> </span></font></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:small"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12px">--</span></font></span></div> </font></div></span>.danny<br><br>☮♥Ⓐ - <a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/danny.piccirillo" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/profiles/danny.piccirillo</a><br>Every (in)decision matters. <br> </blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>.danny<br><br>☮♥Ⓐ - <a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/danny.piccirillo">http://www.google.com/profiles/danny.piccirillo</a><br>Every (in)decision matters. <br>
