10 | Good evening to everyone. Here's hoping you're having an excellent new year. |
| 11 | In the next day or so, [Peer-Directed Projects | |
| 12 | Center](http://freenode.net/pdpc.shtml), the IRS 501(c)(03) parent | |
| 13 | organization of **freenode**, will begin its fundraising campaign for the | |
| 14 | fiscal year ending 30 June 2006. We're still working on budget estimates for | |
| 15 | FYE 2006, and we begin the campaign with about $2,440 in donations over and | |
| 16 | above those required for the current year. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | The board of directors of PDPC passed the following resolution today, | |
| 19 | pertaining to fundraising: | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | > Whereas Peer-Directed Projects Center is an IRS 501(c)(03) organization, | |
| 22 | > with a responsibility to contribute to the public welfare, and whereas | |
| 23 | > donors to PDPC represent a broad range of community participants, and | |
| 24 | > whereas the recent tsunami has demonstrated a genuine need for public | |
| 25 | > support for international relief and welfare organizations, and | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | > Whereas the welfare of children, nationally and internationally, is of | |
| 28 | > significant importance to the future of Free and Open Source Software and | |
| 29 | > Peer-Directed Projects, be it | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | > Resolved, that during the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2005, one quarter of | |
| 32 | > each donation to PDPC beginning in the near future will be forwarded to | |
| 33 | > UNICEF, initially targetted toward tsunami relief efforts, provided that | |
| 34 | > donors who so choose may opt out of this program and designate their | |
| 35 | > donations specifically and solely for PDPC's own use, and | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | > Resolved, that the Executive Director is instructed to begin this program as | |
| 38 | > soon as is feasible from a technical, financial and public relations | |
| 39 | > standpoint. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | If you're considering a donation to PDPC, we strongly urge you to participate. | |
| 42 | Thanks in advance for your help, and thank you for using freenode! |
