Do you like #freesoftware and bookkeeping? Are you also interested in a new job with a non-profit that is working to do good in the world? Perhaps you'll apply to work with us? https://sfconservancy.org/news/2019/feb/14/techie-bookkeeper/

We believe the free software movement must include everyone; women, men of color, non-binary people, LGBTQ people as well as veterans, immigrants and neuro-divergent folks. We strongly encourage applicants from URG's. https://sfconservancy.org/news/2019/feb/14/techie-bookkeeper/

We remain the most transparent non-profit org in our community, be they charities or trade associations. We've posted our FY 2017 #Form990 , which shows every detail of our spending & income for that year, just 2 hours after filing it with the #IRS. https://sfconservancy.org/docs/conservancy_Form-990_fy-2017.pdf

"I would like to see Conservancy continue to serve as a living example of what true open source advocacy looks like as a challenge & model for other free software organizations." Sage Weil of Ceph, on why he supports Conservancy. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/jan/09/sagew/

Copyleft Conf friends, we are excited to announce that registration is OPEN! We can't wait to see you in Brussels, where we'll be discussing *everything* about copyleft. https://2019.copyleftconf.org/attend

This year Conservancy brought in seven new member projects—four that help free software developers write more great free software and three that help introduce new people to free software. Help us keep growing in 2019! https://sfconservancy.org/news/2018/nov/20/90k-donation-match/

The Free as in Freedom podcast returns after a 15 month hiatus! Your co-presenters, Bkuhn and @o0karen0o (Conservancy's Executive Director and President respectively) kick off the return with discussion of the popularity of "pretend" #FOSS licensing in 2018.

We pay people to work on FOSS and we help run our projects run in-person events -- because *people* are the heart of the free software movement. https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/#growing-projects

"I got started in free software barely five years ago, and I'm almost surprised by how much I've contributed since then. One of the big barriers for me was believing I could do it at all." @ehashman on her #freesoftware journey. (We're glad she's here!) https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2018/dec/27/elanahashman/

Conservancy absolutely relies on its supporters to spread the word about our work to make free software awesome. Here are a few very lovely people talking about us -- thank you for helping us reach new people! https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2018/dec/28/nicerthings/

If you're in the spirit of giving tonight, consider supporting @conservancy at https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/. Remember that it is likely tax-deductible in the USA, and for 2018 if you give before the end of the week! Help make sure software freedom and Open Source is #sustainable!

Real talk, "Too many projects rely on the time of too few maintainers, and those maintainers are devoting too large of a slice of their lives to supporting the projects they love." @vmbrasseur on why we gotta fund infrastructure. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2018/dec/21/vmbblog/
