[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Fwd: Conservancy request: project highlights & photos from FY2013

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

I'm forwarding along the annual report from the Software Freedom 
Conservancy, the fiscal sponsor for the Evergreen project. The report 
has a nice nice write-up on Evegreen's accomplishments during FY12 as 
well as a photo from the 2012 Evergreen conference taken by Ruth Frasur 
and a photo from the 2012 GSoC summit that includes developers Dan Scott 
and Thomas Berezansky. It's also fun to read about the highlights from 
the SFC's other member projects.

The SFC is already starting to gather material for its FY13 annual 
report (March 1, 2013-February 28,2014). If you can think of any 
highlights from the year that should be included, let me know.

Hi, all:

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.

We'd like to start gathering information for Conservancy's FY20213 
_(March 1, 2013 - February 28, 2014)_ 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.
*
*****Please send me your Project's **_one_**_or two_**major highlights 
from FY2013*.  Here are the kinds of things we're looking for:
- links to major announcements on your project website/blog
- a major software update (with an explanation of what made this a big 
deal for your Project, and how the public benefits)
- the fulfillment of a major proposal
- a positive development that generated some nice buzz in the tech press
- 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.)
- 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.

NOTE:  specific anecdotes work better than generic accomplishments.

*****In addition, *if you have any photos of project-related activities 
*-- meetings, conferences, hackfests, mentoring sessions, etc. -- please 
send them to me, along with a note indicating the license under which 
those photos are available.

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.

Thanks in advance!  Best, -Tony
