We're in the final stretch of our fundraiser, and we have a special contest for you! Background: On Nov 11, 2018 a plane landed in Boston. On board, one of the passengers was Craig Topham, because the next day he would start a new job as the copyright and licensing associate for the FSF. Besides beginning to know the "T" and learning other Boston area eccentricities, he started collecting coins he would find on the ground. A penny here. A dime there. 1/2
Five years later, and with the container now nearly full, he wants to donate his fortuitous finds to the FSF's fundraiser. Guess the value of coins in the jar before Jan 16, 17:00 UTC and win a sticker pack. Reply with your guess to participate. 2/2
Need a hint to guess the amount of coins Craig Topham found on Boston's street and is now donating to the FSF? https://u.fsf.org/42k They weigh 5.5 pounds. Remember: the closest guess of the total without going over wins a sticker pack. Only on #Mastodon Donate your own lucky coins: https://donate.fsf.org
@Mangdries Thanks for playing! The winner is @forolinux for their guess of USD35. The total was USD35.08. Only eight cents short! There were 593 pennies in the jar, plus 46 x 5¢, 106 x 10¢, and 65 x 25¢.
CLOSE WINDOWS. OPEN DOORS! FECHA O JANELAS. ABRE PORTAS! The portuguese version of the @fsf poster translated from spanish to portuguese pt-PT is now available. You're welcome to feature it wherever you please.
