<br><br><div style="word-wrap: break-word;">Hello to @ll<div><br></div><div>As you many of you probably know in this list, we have developed�<a href="http://Goteo.org/" target="_blank">Goteo.org</a>�as a tool that tries to take collective funding further,�creating a network where citizens but also institutions can join�forces and resources to help open projects grow and, by this mean,�contribute to the Commons in different fields.<br>
<br>We have just begun and we know it�s a quite big challenge, but at the�same time we�re happy because in a little time the idea has a very�significant support: since we opened one month ago there are two�projects funded already�<a href="http://www.goteo.org/project/tuderechoasaber.es" target="_blank">http://www.goteo.org/project/tuderechoasaber.es?lang=en</a>�and�<a href="http://www.goteo.org/project/bookcamping" target="_blank">http://www.goteo.org/project/bookcamping</a>, we have nearly 2.000 daily<br>
visits in�<a href="http://Goteo.org/" target="_blank">Goteo.org</a>�and growing (around 53.000 visits in a month),�more than 1.000 registered users in the platform and 1.800 followers�of @goteofunding, also many dedicated posts and press pieces�(<a href="http://www.goteo.org/press" target="_blank">http://www.goteo.org/press</a>).<br>
<br>All this confirms us we�re in the right direction and the aim of�crowdfunding the Commons is widely shared, while with our little team�we try to start more processes and alliances. However, at this moment�it�s critical that we can give a significant push to the first�projects that have bet for this openness, which have only few days�ahead for reaching their goal and this way giving more strength to the�deployment of Goteo.<br>
<br>So it would be awesome if you can find a way to give support�individually or from the institutions you represent to a couple of�projects that we think have a lot to do with the mission of free�culture, considering that they offer also interesting dedicated�rewards to its bakers. On one hand, as you know from the FCForum, Move�Commons is a tool for initiatives, collectives, NGOs and social�movements to declare the principles they are committed to�(<a href="http://www.goteo.org/project/move-commons?lang=en" target="_blank">http://www.goteo.org/project/move-commons?lang=en</a>). On the other, we<br>
also think Robocicla�(<a href="http://www.goteo.org/project/cuentojuegos-robocicla" target="_blank">http://www.goteo.org/project/cuentojuegos-robocicla</a>) has lots of�connections too with open culture, as a project for developing�game-books for kids to learn about the philosophy and values behind�the Open Source world.<br>
<br>Both are in a critical moment rigth now, where any amount can�accelerate more co-funding, and where of course if any significant�help from an institution or individual arises we would love to�publicly recognise it :)<br>
<br>Cheers, RT's and feedback welcome ;)</div><div><a href="http://www.goteo.org/about?lang=en" target="_blank">http://www.goteo.org/about?lang=en</a><br><div><br></div><div>olivier<br><div>
