Pledge “sourcetree”

"I will donate $40 to the SourceTree Commons fund, to grow the gift economy for geeks, but only if 40 other people passionate about open source development will do the same."

Deadline to sign up by: 5th July 2007
23 people signed up, 17 more were needed

More details
A handful of geeks from around the world are creating the SourceTree Commons, a community and set of technology tools to support open source development.

Our goal is to leverage social software to amplify the creative power of geeks.

To build momentum, we are gathering in Breckenridge, Colorado July 10 - 22 for an intensive work collective, developing the software of SourceTree Commons as well as the community around it.

We've already found sponsorship for the event location, but need support to feed the 16 to 20 hard-working folks during the retreat. Your pledge will be applied first to the food budget, and any remaining funds will be put into the travel fund, to help reimburse the travel expenses of participants.

To view more information about the project, go to: http://www.sourcetreecommons.org

All funds are being transparently managed, at: http://www.sourcetreecommons.org/treehou...

If you would like to make a larger donation or find other ways to support the project, please go to: http://www.sourcetreecommons.org/support

Thank you for your consideration and support, as we work to geek our way to a better world.
