The amazing and indefatigable Darci Hanning is helping organize a "social source" sponsorship effort to raise $2000 to support Lupa Zurven's work to update CalendarX for Plone 3.0.  CalendarX is a widely-used calendaring add-on Product for Plone -- if you'd like to see it updated for Plone 3.0, now's the time to join together with other Plone community members and make it happen.

Lupa's sponsorship goal is $2000.  As of this morning, there are $700 in pledges.  They're using Fundable.org (a Plone-powered site!), which lets you make a pledge in any amount from $10 on up, and you'll only pay if the $2000 goal is reached.   With $1300 to go, we only need another 26 people to pledge $50 each. That's peanuts, especially compared with the number of folks who've benefitted from CalendarX over the years.

This is the funding model we used last year to sponsor a round of work on Ploneboard, and has also helped drive the GetPaid project forward. It's a great way to share the load of sponsoring useful products for which there isn't a single big customer. 

I hope you'll join me in sponsoring CalendarX.

Update - Tuesday, 5:30pm PDT: We're now at $950, nearly halfway there!
