The SFC ( @conservancy ) Is one of those organizations quietly making a huge difference. In fact, it's only like 9 people making that whole org move- supporting open software, open standards, and copyleft protections.
They're running a matching campaign for 9 more days and are trying to hit 200k (400k matched!) but are short $35,000. so I just wanted to write a toot bumping that goal and their great work:
Join them and others from Outreachy and SFC for Q&A video chat's this Wednesday January 8th. We want to hear from YOU about what makes Outreachy such an important piece of the future of software freedom.
