darcs fundraising drive - only $720 left to go!

Hi everybody, Just a quick update on the fundraising drive. We are trying to raise $1000 to help pay for travel to the upcoming Haskell hackathon (the second of our biannual darcs hacking sprints). So far we have raised $280, so we're almost a third of the way there. Think you can help? Details on this page http://www.darcs.net/donations.html Many thanks! Eric PS. Ultimately, what we are trying to buy is *time*. So if you have a few spare moments in your week, the most generous donation you can make is by offering us a little of your time. Come join us in Utrecht, 17-19 April or on #darcs! Otherwise, we accept Paypal :-) -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9

Dear darcs users and Haskellers, I wanted to thank you all for your contributions to our first darcs fundraising drive. We've done it! We managed to raise $1000, over two weeks with contributions from 22 donors. This means that we will able to help our programmers travel to the darcs hacking sprint. This fundraising drive is over, but donations will still be gratefully accepted. In the long term, we hope to raise another $5000 to pay for a summer project ($4000) and also to pay for travel (another $1000) to the third hacking sprint this October or November. Again, thank-you! -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9

I'm just getting to know this community, and I have to say, I am very impressed by this. Congrats to everyone for making the world a better place :) -- Duane Johnson On Mar 16, 2009, at 6:09 AM, Eric Kow wrote:
