We are funding the first three projects for $500 per month for one year- this is $6000 per project.Is there a reason for not commenting and not mentioning this? Sounds like good news!
It is and we should comment on it. As no one seems to be on it, here's a first attempt at a short press release:
DEBIAN PROJECT RECEIVES $6000 FROM LINUX FUNDThe Debian Project was pleased to learn it is one of only three Free Software organizations that will receive $6000 from linuxfund.org.
[Insert details]Said [Insert cabal member], "The money awarded by Linuxfund is made up of many small donations from the grassroots Linux community. We see their decision to choose us as a validation of the Debian Projects uncompromising focus on service to our users and the Free Software community. Donations like this help ensure we can continue that service for a long, long time."
