November brings two things very demanding of my time: Thanksgiving and the start of fundraising season.

Free software activities (personal)

• The Open Source Initiative had it’s twice-a-year face to face board meeting! Good times all around.
• Debian is having a GR. I’ve been following the development of proposals and conversation, which is basically a part time job in and of itself.
• Participated in Debian Community Team meetings.
• I started drafting Bits from the Debian Community Team.
• Wrote some blog posts! I liked them this month.
• Wearing multiple hats I attended SustainNYC, talking about sustainability in free and open source software.
• I submitted to some CFPs — SCaLE, FOSSASIA, and OSCON.
• I am serving on the papers committee for CopyLeftConf, and for this I reviewed proposals.

Free software activities (professional)

• We launched a fundraiser! (About a patent infringement case)
• Funding a legal case is an expensive proposition, so I am also meeting with companies and potential large donors interested in helping out with the case.
• We launched another fundraiser! (About general Foundation activities)
• I participated in the hiring process to fill two roles at the GNOME Foundation.
