Fwd: Thank you from the Wikimedia Foundation

wikipedia에다가 기부했다. 내 생전 자발적으로 기부해보긴 첨이네. 요즘 몇번이고 wikipedia를 들어갔을때 wikipedia의 창립자의 personal appeal 이라는 배너가 계속 뜬걸 봤는데. 사실 무시하다가. 그래도 wiki 만큼 나에게 많은것을 알려준 것도 없다는 생각에. 그냥 무시하기엔 미안한 맘이 크게 들어서.. 그래서 가장 싼 값으로 선택해서 donate 했다. 난 마음이 아직 부유하지 못해서.
(아 그리고 이번 포스팅은 Email로 보내서 한다. 무슨 이야기냐면 얼마전에 알았는데 blogger.com에서 자신의 블로그에 Email 계정을 줘서 그 계정으로 메일을 보내면 보낸 내용이 바로 포스팅 된다.)

Dear sehwan,


Thank you for your gift of USD 20 to the Wikimedia Foundation, received on November 29, 2010. I’m very grateful for your support.
Your donation celebrates everything Wikipedia and its sister sites stand for: the power of information to help people live better lives, and the importance of sharing, freedom, learning and discovery. Thank you so much for helping to keep these projects freely available for their nearly 400 million monthly readers around the world.


Your money supports technology and people. The Wikimedia Foundation develops and improves the technology behind Wikipedia and nine other projects, and sustains the infrastructure that keeps them up and running. The Foundation has a staff of about fifty, which provides technical, administrative, legal and outreach support for the global community of volunteers who write and edit Wikipedia.
Many people love Wikipedia, but a surprising number don't know it's run by a non-profit. Please help us spread the word by telling a few of your friends.


And again, thank you for supporting free knowledge.


Sincerely Yours,




Sue Gardner
Executive Director
