The Gnash project is the +most promising solution for a Free Software Flash implementation. It +has done great so far, but there is still far to go, and recently its +funding has dried up. I believe AVM2 support in Gnash is vital to the +continued progress of the project, as more and more sites show up with +AVM2 flash files.
+ +To try to get funding for developing such support, I have started +a pledge with the +following text:
+ ++ ++ +"I will pay 100$ to the Gnash project to develop AVM2 support but + only if 10 other people will do the same."
+ +- Petter Reinholdtsen, free software developer
+ +Deadline to sign up by: 24th December 2010
+ +The Gnash project need to get support for the new Flash file + format AVM2 to work with a lot of sites using Flash on the + web. Gnash already work with a lot of Flash sites using the old AVM1 + format, but more and more sites are using the AVM2 format these + days. The project web page is available from + http://www.getgnash.org/ . Gnash is a free software implementation + of Adobe Flash, allowing those of us that do not accept the terms of + the Adobe Flash license to get access to Flash sites.
+ +The project need funding to get developers to put aside enough + time to develop the AVM2 support, and this pledge is my way to try + to get this to happen.
+ +The project accept donations via the OpenMediaNow foundation, + http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32 .
+ +
I hope you will support this effort too. I hope more than 10 +people will participate to make this happen. The more money the +project gets, the more features it can develop using these funds. +:)
