[ENGLISH BELOW] Queridos miembros de Ourproject.org: Nos dirigimos a vosotros/as para poneros al día de una nueva forma de colaborar en el crecimiento de nuestra comunidad. Como sabréis, Ourproject ha experimentado un gran crecimiento desde su nacimiento hace diez años, hasta alcanzar en la actualidad un total de 1.079 proyectos, que reciben un total de un millón de visitas mensuales. Sin publicidad y compartiendo su trabajo con licencias libres, siguiendo el espíritu de esta comunidad. El gran crecimiento experimentado requiere que ampliemos la capacidad de soporte de Ourproject y de otros proyectos bajo el paraguas de nuestra asociación sin ánimo de lucro Comunes.org . Por ello, hemos decidido montar junto con otros colectivos con fines similares un Centro de Datos: http://comunes.org/es/787/building-a-collective-data-centre/ en el que albergar una mayor cantidad de proyectos de una forma más efectiva, con recursos suficientes para todos. También ha llegado la hora de ofrecer nuevos y más avanzados servicios que llevamos desarrollando desde hace cinco años, como: http://kune.ourproject.org http://kune.cc Por desgracia, todo esto supone un cierto desgaste económico para el proyecto. Es más, nos ha llegado el momento de renovar equipos y comprar repuestos de nuestros servidores, que están empezando a dar problemas y muestras de fatiga: http://comunes.org/es/909/help-servers-hardware/ que habréis podido sufrir con caídas de los servicios más frecuentes en los últimos tiempos. Hay que tener también en cuenta que durante estos diez años hemos costeado los gastos a través de nuestras continuas aportaciones personales. Por esta razón, hemos decidido crear una nueva vía de participación y cofinanciación disponible para los miembros de Ourproject. Consiste en aportaciones económicas periódicas, variables y totalmente voluntarias (cada cual en la medida de sus posibilidades para así evitar las cuotas fijas) que nos permitan sufragar estos gastos, de forma que los miembros de Ourproject (y Comunes en general) puedan ayudar a la sostenibilidad del ecosistema común. Para ello hemos habilitado la siguiente página: http://comunes.org/donate/ en la que podréis, si es vuestro deseo, colaborar con cuotas periódicas mensuales. Las aportaciones estarán enteramente destinadas al mantenimiento de los servicios, y mantendremos el espíritu de Ourproject no buscando lucro de ningún tipo, ni introduciendo publicidad alguna. Todos los movimientos económicos hechos con estas aportaciones serán claramente expuestos a la comunidad, de forma transparente, en un lugar destacado de la página. Muchas gracias. Un cordial saludo, El equipo detrás de Ourproject.org y Comunes.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [ENGLISH]: Dear members of Ourproject.org: We are contacting you in order to update you on a new way of collaborating in the growth of our community. As you know, Ourproject has lived an extraordinary growth from its birth 10 years ago, as today we already have 1.079 projects which all together receive around a million visits per month. Everything with no ads and sharing their work with free licenses, following the spirit of this community. This growth has required to increase the capacity of the servers and infrastructure of Ourproject and the other projects under the umbrella of our non-profit Comunes.org. In this line, we joined other similar collectives to form a Collective Data Centre, with enough resources for all of us: http://comunes.org/787/building-a-collective-data-centre/ Besides, it’s time to offer new and more advanced services that we have been developing in the last five years, such as: http://kune.ourproject.org http://kune.cc However, this implies a continuous economic effort. Furthermore, the time has come to renew our servers, that have already shown serious signals and issues: http://comunes.org/909/help-servers-hardware/ that you may have suffered, with more frequent problems in the service. We should take into account that during these 10 years we have been assuming the efforts from our personal economic contributions. That is why we have decided to create a new method of participation and co-funding for the old and new members of Ourproject. It consists of regular, variable and fully optional economic contributions (each one to the extent of their capabilities, avoiding fixed quotas), that would allow us to sustain the expenses, so everyone in the community can help sustaining this common ecosystem. Thus, we have prepared a donation page: http://comunes.org/donate/ in which you could, if you want to, collaborate with regular monthly quotas. These contributions will be used just for the maintenance of the servers and infrastructure, and we’ll keep with the spirit of Ourproject and Comunes by not seeking profit in any way, and not placing ads anywhere. Every economic move done with these contributions will be clearly exposed to the community, transparently, in a highlighted part of our pages. Thanks a lot for your support, The team behind Ourproject.org and Comunes.org

Art Colleges Europe email list
by lucidv 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Dear Sir/ Madam, We have added your college to our mailing list which is trying to connect art colleges throughout Europe. We are students from the Fachhochschule in Ottersberg in North Germany. In the Framework of our studies we are organising an Arts Festival called Festival Art as Research. We would like to invite art students from other colleges around Europe to join us. We found it wasn't all that easy to reach them though, and collecting the email addresses from all the different colleges turned out to be a lot of work. We thought it might be quite possible that, in future, some other students might get the same idea again. So to save them some time we set up an email list which tries to contact as many of the art colleges ad their students as possible. If you would not like to be on this list or change the recipient you have to click on the link at the bottom of this email. kind regards, Luci van Delden for the FAR team
