In some time zones, it was done before 2009. And this is the most successful fundraising. I think that we have two conclusions from this fundraising: * Jimmy should make appeal earlier as WMF will need more money the next year + people will have less money because of the whole year of recession. * It would be good to find local prominent people who would write their own appeals for particular audiences. For example, prominent persons from France and Germany... _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@...

Hoi,
Six million dollar is a lot of money. However given what we do and what we
stand for, it is not too much to ask for. This fundraiser proves that a well
managed fundraiser makes a big difference. So my compliments for the effort
and the people involved in making it happen for us :)
I am sure that we have learned valuable lessons this time. Indeed getting
the message out by people that are recognised as having something valid to
say is a great help. We do not have many such people because our community
is not one of individual recognition. That only makes it a much more
interesting challenge :)
Any way.. Gelukkig Nieuwjaar :)
Thanks,
GerardM

Dear all, Wikimedia Argentina, in collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation, is pleased to announce that Wikimania 2009 will take place in Buenos Aires on August 26th, 27th and 28th.

The conference will run for 3 days, with an optional welcome dinner on August 25th, and the special closing Wikimania party on Augusts 28th. Besides the exciting conferences, we are planning a set of activities for those who also want to enjoy Buenos Aires renowned nightlife.

We will be opening the call for speakers and scholarship applications during the following weeks, and the assistance registration in March. News about the event will be published in the Wikimania 2009 web site [wikimania2009.wikimedia.org] See you in Buenos Aires!

Congrats on getting to $6M (which means WMF should well exceed revenue targets this year since $6M was the Annual revenue target for community plus major donors). -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@...

Hey folks - This is a very quick note, officially updating everyone on the progress of the fundraiser. Many of you will already know this, but I wanted to make it official(Continue reading)Currently, you will see that the sitenotice thermometer says we've reached 6.1 million dollars, which means we have exceeded our original goal of six million dollars! This is fantastic, and I'm really happy. To put that in context: In 2008-09, prior to the launch of the fundraiser, we had received just under two million dollars in donations and commitments from a mix of foundations, individual donors and business development revenues. (That includes the 08-09 1m from Sloan, which will arrive this month.) Since its launch, the fundraiser has brought in a little over four million dollars. This means we currently have received in 08-09 a total of 6.1 million dollars, which will fully cover our projected 08-09 costs. Last year, by contrast, the fundraiser brought in a total of 1.6 million dollars. For the Wikimedia Foundation to more than double donations during a time of major global financial crisis is an amazing accomplishment - and is testimony to the dedication and strength of our supporters. They believe in what we're doing and understand why it's important: I'm grateful to each and every one of them. And I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this year's fundraiser. There are too many people to name individually, and even
