Outreach

Letter Template
Organizational Help
This letter template is intended for sending to specific people in organisations with overlapping aims to our and whose governance structure has something to teach us. If you have a personal contact in an organisation then build on that contact rather than using this template.
This could be useful for contacting:
- LibreOffice
- OSGeo ( progress to date: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2020-September/039041.html )
- Free Software Foundation ( we have several members )
- Software Conservancy

Dear
OSArch.org is the Open Source Architecture Project. We support Free/Libre & Open Source software for Architecture, Engineering, Construction & Building Operations. We'd like your help in strengthening our organization by learning from your organizational experience. We are young and growing rapidly. After starting in February we now have about 800 users on our forum with 300 discussion. Our wiki has about 100 pages and 100 users. It feels like we're here to stay and growing.
Now we're ready to begin thinking about an organizational and legal structure. This will allow us to seek and accept central funding, and begin sponsoring selected projects.
If you have time for a chat please let me know so we can arrange something. Alternatively just hop into our forum and announce yourself.
Our forum: https://community.osarch.org/discussions
You can read more about who we are from our wiki front page: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Home_of_OSArch
I look forward to hearing from you
Regards Duncan
