+Title: Plege for funding to the Gnash project
+Tags: english, nuug, web, multimedia, video

+
+<p><a href="http://www.getgnash.org/">The Gnash project</a> 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.</p>
+
+<p>To try to get funding for developing such support, I have started
+<a href="http://www.pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2">a pledge</a> with the
+following text:</P>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+
+  <p>"I will pay 100$ to the Gnash project to develop AVM2 support but
+  only if 10 other people will do the same."</p>
+
+  <p>- Petter Reinholdtsen, free software developer</p>
+
+  <p>Deadline to sign up by: 24th December 2010</p>
+
+  <p>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 fo
+  the Adobe Flash license to get access to Flash sites.</p>
+
+  <p>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.</p>
+
+  <p>The project accept donations via the OpenMediaNow foundation,
+  <a href="http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32">http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32</a> .</p>
+
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>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.
+:)</p>
