Software Freedom Conservancy, the organization behind Git, Samba, Wine,
Inkscape and many other FLOSS projects announces and welcomes attendees
to its first annual Supporter Night, a community appreciation event and
fundraising dinner on Friday 30 January 2015 in Brussels, Belgium on the
night before FOSDEM.

Supporter Night, partially sponsored by Google, celebrates Conservancy's
Supporters and all nonprofit, community-run free and open source
software software projects. Supporter Night, which seeks to raise funds
for Conservancy's continuing work supporting such projects, provides a
prime opportunity for FOSDEM attendees to network, have fun, and discuss
important software freedom topics over dinner with each other and
Conservancy's executive team — even before the conference begins.

Organized within walking distance of the “beer event”, our exciting
Supporter Night will occur at Drug Opera, an English-style tavern in
Brussels. Tickets are now available for a starting price of
US$40. (Annual Conservancy Supporters may attend without an additional
donation!) Attendees are however encouraged to donate an additional
amount (if they are able) to support Conservancy and its important work
for software freedom.

Purchase your ticket now! Conservancy expects the event will sell out,
since space is limited. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door
for €50. The ticket price includes a three-course dinner and one drink.

Conservancy's Executive Director Karen Sandler (who will deliver the
opening keynote at FOSDEM 2015) and President Bradley Kuhn (who will
also speak at FOSDEM) will attend Supporter Night, and look forward to
great discussion with Conservancy's Supporters. "Supporter Night will
help us raise funds to continue to support our projects," said Karen, "I
can't wait to see everyone there!"
