Hi Paul,
I know the coffee fundraiser didn't do so well the first time - more due to announcement and timing issues on my part than anything else. But I'd be happy to run other ones, at whatever frequency and distribution people would like. I suspect quarterly or thirdly (i.e. every three or four months) would be enough.
We had $368 in coffee orders, $228 of which goes to Kaldi and $140 goes to Linux Australia.
Good work =)
As a fundraiser it's small change compared to what Kaldi regularly does - they've told me of fundraisers which made over $1000 for the organisation. In total we had around ten people order 16 bags of coffee - eight people were from within Canberra and five from within CLUG. I'm not happy with this response, and want to generate more interest in it next time.
I'll be putting another order in when you do your next batch =)
regards,
Kim
