<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="JUSTIFY">Dear all, <br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="JUSTIFY">As you probably have
gathered from the communications that followed the first FLOSS
Manuals meet-up that took place in Berlin in early October, we are
trying to <strong>strengthen the structure</strong> of the
organization. A necessary step towards bring “muscle” to FM is to
find <strong>loyal and long-term donors</strong> to support our
core organizational costs (admin, bookkeeping, hosting,
development, meetings...).<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="JUSTIFY">We believe that the
vivid and diverse FM <strong>community is our best asset</strong>
to build our fundraising strategy and identify relevant funding
leads.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="JUSTIFY">We've put up a very
short online survey (with no more than <b>5 questions</b>!) to
try to harvest this good knowledge you selfishly keep for
yourself.<br>
We will be incredibly grateful to get your thoughts and inputs on
these questions.</p>

Many, many thanks for your help.</p>
