For the past few years, the LibrePlanet conference has featured a
fundraiser raffle with prizes donated from the free software
community. The raffle is always a great opportunity for us to
highlight the companies and groups selling products of interest to
free software activists. Importantly, it also helps pay for the many
costs associated with planning the preeminent two-day free software
conference, including scholarships, logistics, and staff time.
From April 30, 2020 to May 31, 2020, the FSF will be holding an
associate membership referral drive. In order for you to qualify to
win a prize, new members have to sign up using your referral link:
https://my.fsf.org/join?referrer=3095323, so share it
with everyone you want to join the FSF.
You can win prizes by helping us sign up new annual associate members
($120 per year, or $60 for students). Let them know that membership
comes with many benefits on top of the invaluable reward of
supporting the free software movement! No matter how many new
members you refer, telling your community that you care about free
software goes a long way in making free software a kitchen table
issue.
Prizes
Everyone who refers at least one new annual associate member during
the drive will receive a special Super Sticker Mega Multi Pack
from the GNU Press shop.
Refer two new annual associate members who join, and you can win a
limited edition LibrePlanet 2020 T-shirt and one of the
following: a ThinkPenguin Wireless-N Mini VPN router v2 or a
libre-friendly Vikings WNDR3800 WLAN home router.
Refer three new members, and you can win one of the following:
a custom GNU Press shop bundle (can include GNU beanie/scarf,
LibrePlanet T-shirt, GNU Emacs gear) or a three-year JMP.chat
gift certificate.
Refer more than three new members, and you win both a $200 Vikings
store gift certificate and a $120 gift certificate for
libre-friendly hosting through Vikings.
Refer the most new members and win a Technoethical S2 smartphone
and a $200 Vikings store gift certificate and a $120 gift
certificate for libre-friendly hosting through Vikings.
There is a very limited number of prizes which will be awarded first
come, first served: the sooner you refer members who join, the more
likely you are to get a coveted prize. Referrers will be notified as
their referrals come in. Other than the sticker pack, prizes do not
stack between tiers. The FSF can ship prizes to you once the Boston
office is operating on a regular schedule again; due to the
mandatory office closure, prizes may not be shipped until later in the
calendar year.
There is no better time than the present to help grow the free
software community -- and win prizes while they are still available!
