Richard has list of people who get this letter - some just contribute to Samvera and not Fedora
Decide who the other Group of people will be who would receive the letter (non-Samvera contributors)
Language about "strengthening community helps solidify products, sustaining products across the board" makes it easier to give
"Solidify and sustain" - OS concerns in general, can fade, no support, have to keep up with changes. No core product upon which Samvera is built.
Part of Gov recs, two staff positions looking toward sustainability - that's what we're raising for
Explicit - tie governance model, need for staff, growth of community, need for staff to coordinate and harness efforts of community
Progress from prior year and expected progress in coming year
ADA, Core Components, Hyrax, Roadmap, Governance, events like connect and virtual connect
diversification of the community in terms of the vendor space, energy around hosted Hyrax and Hyku, Avalon -
Hyku: Notch8, Ubiquity Press, TDL.org work (Nick Woodward and UH)
What is DCE doing - Tenejo
Part of partnership in an effort/ membership in org - (a) a professional org, (b) cost of doing OS software.
Forward looking: going on now or things that happened last year -

List of all contributors in 2018.
Partners staff contrib and Partners staff contrib
3rd audience - in community but not a partner
assign or volunteer from Steering to make contact with that partner.
Level categories - (silver, gold) -
Pursuing sponsorships - piggyback on that for partners as well - fundraising, give folks a clear idea of what they're getting for their money
So what do the levels mean? What do they get for the money? Clearer what we can offer.
Aperio foundation - individual membership - free seat at annual conference
Annual Report - get it done early to explain to Deans what the funding is for
