Hello all,
I am Jehan, a GIMP developer, and user of Free Software. Anyway, a small non-profit I manage, association LILA, is organizing for a month a calendar sale with several artists using Free Software. http://librecal2015.libreart.info/
The artists are: Patrick David, Aryeom Han, Henri Hebeisen, Gustavo Deveze and Brian Beck (2 photographers, 2 illustrators, a 3D graphics illustrator). All of them use Free Software for their work and all the artworks in the calendar will be released as Creative Common Attribution.
A part of the sale profit will go to the artists, and we also want to donate to a selection of Free Software: GIMP, Blender, Inkscape and Scribus. Basically they are some of the main software for Libre Graphics, after all!
So if I post here, that's first to promote the project. And second, I wanted to ask the Inkscape project maintainers if that would be possible to relay the funding? A blog post, or a news on the website, or relaying through social networks (I see Inkscape is on Twitter and G+), or any mix of these would be awesome. Thanks, and continue to do a great program, we often use it!
In any case, if you like our small project, don't hesitate to go and buy a calendar. :-) Thanks!

Hi Jehan,
We don't have any one person who looks after news. but if you write something up for us, I will be happy to add it to the news website online for you. I've been watching this project on G+ and there have been some spectacular images shown.

Awesome. What about something like this (assuming you add news directly in HTML):
--------------------------- <a href="http://librecal2015.libreart.info/">Get yourself a calendar with Libre Art and support artists and Free Software</a>!
The non-profit association <a href="http://libreart.info">LILA</a> organizes a Libre Calendar project with 5 artists: <a href="http://girinstud.io/">Aryeom Han</a> (independant animation director and illustrator), <a href="http://blog.patdavid.net/">Patrick David</a> (photographer), <a href="http://henri-hebeisen.com/">Henri Hebeisen</a> (3D graphic designer, "Blender Foundation Certified Trainer"), <a href="http://www.deveze.com.ar/">Gustavo Deveze</a> (independant animation director and illustrator) and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/designbybeck">Brian Beck</a> (photographer).
The calendar will feature 12 artworks by these artists and from Blender Open movies, all released as <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/">Creative Common - Attribution 2.0</a>, and all by using Free Software. Most of the profits from the sales will be shared between the artists and as donations to <a href="http://inkscape.org">Inkscape</a>, <a href="http://gimp.org">GIMP</a>, <a href="http://blender.org">Blender</a> and <a href="http://scribus.net">Scribus</a>, 4 major Free and Open Source Software for graphics.
---------------------------
Feel free to edit however you want of course! :-)

Yes. Let's see how it will go when we finish. :-) Right now the sales are not that spectacular yet. But I keep hope. :-)
