  23 <p><a href="http://www.getgnash.org/">The Gnash project</a> is the
  24 most promising solution for a Free Software Flash implementation. It
  25 has done great so far, but there is still far to go, and recently its
  26 funding has dried up.  I believe AVM2 support in Gnash is vital to the
  27 continued progress of the project, as more and more sites show up with
  28 AVM2 flash files.</p>
  29
  30 <p>To try to get funding for developing such support, I have started
  31 <a href="http://www.pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2">a pledge</a> with the
  32 following text:</P>
  33
  34 <p><blockquote>
  35
  36   <p>"I will pay 100$ to the Gnash project to develop AVM2 support but
  37   only if 10 other people will do the same."</p>
  38
  39   <p>- Petter Reinholdtsen, free software developer</p>
  40
  41   <p>Deadline to sign up by: 24th December 2010</p>
  42
  43   <p>The Gnash project need to get support for the new Flash file
  44   format AVM2 to work with a lot of sites using Flash on the
  45   web. Gnash already work with a lot of Flash sites using the old AVM1
  46   format, but more and more sites are using the AVM2 format these
  47   days. The project web page is available from
  48   http://www.getgnash.org/ . Gnash is a free software implementation
  49   of Adobe Flash, allowing those of us that do not accept the terms of
  50   the Adobe Flash license to get access to Flash sites.</p>
  51
  52   <p>The project need funding to get developers to put aside enough
  53   time to develop the AVM2 support, and this pledge is my way to try
  54   to get this to happen.</p>
  55
  56   <p>The project accept donations via the OpenMediaNow foundation,
  57   <a href="http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32">http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32</a> .</p>
  58
  59 </blockquote></p>
  60
  61 <p>I hope you will support this effort too.  I hope more than 10
  62 people will participate to make this happen.  The more money the
  63 project gets, the more features it can develop using these funds.
  64 :)</p>
