Dear Free Software Supporter,
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) will have a booth at
[FOSSY][1] (August 1–4, 2024) in Portland, OR, this year.
[1]: [link removed]
Would you or someone you know be interested in helping us run the FSF
booth at Portland State University? Doing so would involve face-to-face
advocacy on behalf of free software, soliciting and accepting donations
for the FSF, and selling FSF merchandise -- all to raise awareness and
funds that power our campaigns.
If you or a friend could help us, please let us know by replying to
this email by Thursday, July 18.
The shifts we need covered are:
* **Day 1:** August 1, Thursday
* 09:00 - 10:00 -- Setup
* 10:00 - 15:00 -- Exhibit
* 15:00 - 19:00 -- Exhibit
* **Day 2:** August 2, Friday
* 09:00 - 14:30 -- Exhibit
* 14:30 - 18:15 -- Exhibit
* **Day 3:** August 3, Saturday
* 09:00 - 14:30 -- Exhibit
* 14:30 - 18:15 -- Exhibit
* **Day 4:** August 4, Sunday
* 09:00 - 14:30 -- Exhibit
* 14:30 - 18:15 -- Exhibit
* 18:15 - 19:00 -- Pack up
If you can help, please reply with answers to the following
questions:
* What is the best phone number to reach you?
* Is it OK to share your contact information with the other
volunteers or, possibly, the organizers?
* Do you have access to a vehicle, and, if so, would you be willing
to either bring merchandise to the venue and/or ship it back after
the event?
* Which of the shifts above would you be willing and able to take?
* Will you need the FSF to get you an exhibit-hall pass, or will you
already have a conference pass from some other source?
Please let us know if you would be able and willing to volunteer your
time. Conference booths are one of the most important ways we
introduce new people to free software, GNU, and the FSF! They also
raise funds that help fuel our work for the rest of the year and
beyond.
Thank you for supporting the FSF!
Sincerely,
Jeanne Rasata
Membership Coordinator
