How to Help the GNU Project

• Write free software for the GNU Project.

• Write free documentation for the GNU Project.

• Tell others about the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation by:
  • adding a link to GNU's home page, URL:http://www.gnu.org, to your home pages

  • giving copies of the GNU's Bulletin to your friends, colleagues and customers. And passing them out at conferences, trade shows, user group meetings, etc. (tell gnu@gnu.org how many you need and where to ship them several weeks before the event).

  • by mirroring this web site as these sites are already doing, and asking others to do so.

• Help the FSF raise funds to help us write more free software and documentation by:
  • making a donation to the FSF.

  • ordering manuals, t-shirts and especially CD-ROMs from the FSF when you can. Most of the FSF's funds come from selling copies of things that everyone is free to copy.

  • Convincing your office to order manuals, t-shirts, and especially CD-ROMs from the FSF when you can.

  • Convincing your office to order a Deluxe Distribution from the FSF. Also see the article ``Deluxe Distribution'' in the current GNU's Bulletin.

  • by selling free software and donating a part of the proceeds to the Free Software Foundation or some other free software development project. By funding development, you can advance the world of free software. Distributing free software is an opportunity to raise funds for development. Don't waste it!

• Donate computer hardware to the FSF. See the ``Project GNU Wish List'' article in the current GNU's Bulletin for a list of what hardware is needed.

• Donate office supplies and office equipment to the FSF. Offer them to <gnu@gnu.org>.

• Create more art and graphics for the GNU Project. Note those (200k) we already have. (But no gifs due to patent problems.)

• Take on one of the jobs (14k characters) we need done for this web server.

• For more ways to help, please look at the ``Project GNU Wish List'' article in the current GNU's Bulletin.
