Talking about fund raising, what are the plans for spending the money on? I think it would be much easier to convince people of donating if they knew what the money is going to be used for and then see a concrete result.

We (as in the All Powerful and MightyBoard) are intending to produce some more nice enamel Squeak badges as fund raising items. The previous batch I did a few years ago proved very popular and we hope that offering them again will help fill the Foundation Coffers.
I'm going to actually fund the initial purchase and hope that enough sell to at least cover most of those costs. This Request For Volunteers is seeking a few people that can help with fulfilling orders. I propose mailing a batch to each pinhead team member in, hopefully, several different parts of the world so that local postage will suffice for most orders.
Volunteers will need to be able and willing to store some badges, obtain small padded envelopes or small boxes, mail them to supporters, submit their expenses and receive reimbursement by paypal.
