Attached a shortened, TODAY-centric piece to this email -- let me know what you think.<br><br>Bullet points:<br>* SHORT<br>* highlights developer travel<br>* mentions small donations plusgood, not just big<br>* skips detail on non-community fundraising numbers, lest individual donors feel less inclined to give<br>
* draws "example" content from the submitted talks -- I know that's not perfect, but it makes the content "real" for people who've never been in the past.<br><br>Additions? Subtractions? I do want to keep this short-n-sweet; we can link to longer copy on the site & wiki for the interested; the idea is just to draw them in and highlight the need.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Nate<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 12:49 AM, Jon Phillips <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jon@rejon.org">jon@rejon.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
