SFX TeamWill you be a part of the open source legacy?
NY Times Ad CampaignLet?s mark the launch of Firefox 1.0 with a community marketing campaign that will take the buzz around Firefox to the next level: the first-ever, full-page advertisement in a major daily newspaper created and paid for by the open source community.
Here is how it works:
* The full-page ad will include the names of everyone who supports the campaign along with a message about the benefits/features of Firefox.
* The campaign will act as a fundraiser to support all Firefox 1.0 launch activities, not just the ad itself.
* Find out more about how your contribution is used.
* An individual contribution of $30 will get your name included in the ad ($10 student rate).
* Special recognition ? Community Champion ? will be given to people who enlist 10 of their friends in this campaign. (These folks have a shot at having their name in the lower half of the ad.)
* There are also two packages available for businesses to participate.
* If you have a Spread Firefox account, you will receive 100 sfx points per name slot that you purchase or refer.
* The goal: sign up 2500 names!
* More questions? Check the FAQ.
* Ready? Click the newspaper on the upper right to join in! Note that in order to get roll call credit for your donation, you need to be logged in before clicking the link.
We (sfx members and Firefox users) will only ever have one Firefox 1.0 launch ? this is it! Let?s take the world by storm.
