Project Gutenberg Needs You
Part of a letter from Michael Hart, Project Gutenberg's founder:As Project Gutenberg moves from 9,000 to 10,000 eBooks in the next 4 months, we only have 2 months' budget on hand. . .so right now it looks as if we will run out of money in October. . . .Come on. I know Jerry's site and mine at TeleRead.org are read by people at blue-chip companies, including some looking for good PR. What better way to earn it honestly?
This month my assistant and I are working with no salary. We might get paid later, if things start looking up.
We are going to need people to interface with the MAJOR granting agencies to get a good run [toward] a million eBooks!!!
We should approach the Fortune 500, Computer 100, and the 500 wealthiest people, too.
Even if you can't authorize money for worthwhile cultural activities, maybe you can fire off a memo to someone who can. No need to guess what PG might do with the money. It's the first and biggest publisher of public domain material on the Net.
If you want to reach Michael Hart directly, he's at hart@beryl.ils.unc.edu.
