Hi all,<br>
<br>
I forwarded this e-mail to the general list back in April, but then
promptly forgot about it. The last time we received this request
from the SFC, Galen put together a Google doc and encouraged
everyone to add highlights from the year. He then took that
information to write something up for the SFC.

<br>
Would anyone be willing to do something similar for this year's
report?<br>

<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western"> Hi, all: <br>
<br>
I've attached Conservancy's most recently-published annual
report. Thanks for your many contributions! While we weren't
able to get everything in there, we tried to capture a
representative sample of all the great work done by our member
projects. <br>
<br>
We'd like to start gathering information for Conservancy's
FY20213 <u>(March 1, 2013 - February 28, 2014)</u> annual
report now, while the events of the previous fiscal year are
still fresh in everyone's minds. And, as usual, we'd like to
feature some of our member projects' big successes from that
period. <br>
<b><br>
</b><b>***Please send me your Project's </b><b><u>one</u></b><b><u>
or two</u></b><b> major highlights from FY2013</b>. Here
are the kinds of things we're looking for: <br>
- links to major announcements on your project website/blog<br>
- a major software update (with an explanation of what made this
a big deal for your Project, and how the public benefits) <br>
- the fulfillment of a major proposal <br>
- a positive development that generated some nice buzz in the
tech press <br>
- a feel-good success story (e.g., an organization or
municipality using Project X's software to do good work, a
"human interest" story where Project X's software is involved,
etc.) <br>
- something I haven't thought of, but that you think is cool and
would really showcase the good stuff your Project has
accomplished in FY2013. <br>
<br>
NOTE: specific anecdotes work better than generic
accomplishments. <br>
<br>
<b>***</b>In addition, <b>if you have any photos of
project-related activities </b>-- meetings, conferences,
hackfests, mentoring sessions, etc. -- please send them to me,
along with a note indicating the license under which those
photos are available. <br>
<br>
I can't guarantee that we'll be able to include every Project's
highlights and photos in the report, but we'll do our best to
shine a light on the important work you do as a collective to
generate great code for the public. <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance! Best, -Tony </div>
