---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steffen Lange <[email protected]> Date: Thu, May 15, 2014 at 6:49 AM Subject: Cooperating for the Degrowth-Conference crowdfunding campaign To: Steffen Lange <[email protected]> Dear members of the advisory board, The preparations for the Degrowth-Conference are running now in full swing. To meet our costs, we are preparing for a so-called *crowdfunding* at the moment. Crowdfunding means that we will launch an online campaign to convince many small backers — the "crowd" — to fund a certain project (in our case, the Degrowth Conference). The backers essentially give money to support our conference and will receive in exchange something to say "thank you", a so called "gooding". In order for this crowdfunding campaign to be successful, we would like to ask for your support. To our mind, a popular kind of gooding would be autographed books from you as respected authors within the Degrowth community. *Hence, we would really appreciate if you could provide us with some autographed copies of your recent books (say, released in 2004 or later) for free*. The decision of course is completely up to – every book you donate to us will help to attract additional backers. In case you are willing to do so, please contact [email protected] until 31st of May. Of course, other things or deeds would present suitable goodings as well; we are happy about any further recommendation you will make to us. Postal address: Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie e.V. Klingenstr. 22 04229 Leipzig Germany Handing over goodings at the conference is possible, too. But in any case, we would need a notification about it until end of May.
