[tdf-announce] Thank you for your support!

Dear supporters and friends of The Document Foundation,

on behalf of the worldwide LibreOffice community, and on behalf of the 
donor Freies Office Deutschland e.V., we would like to express our 
sincerest thanks to all of you for your kind and generous support in 
setting up the legal entity.

On February 17th, The Document Foundation has been incorporated as a 
German Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts, located in Berlin, and in the 
meantime, the transfer of all assets has been nearly finished. In other 
words: The long-awaited foundation is finally in existence and fully 
operating.

For us, it is still unbelievable how strong the worldwide support is, 
how many people support the idea of an independent foundation, and how 
many contributed by either getting engaged in the project, or by 
donating to fund our operations.

Following our open and transparent approach, we have made public our 
budget, and will constantly update it, so you see what your donations 
are being used for.

Our sincere thanks also go out to the members of our advisory board, who 
provide us not only with guidance, but also with financial support.

Although many of us are volunteers, working pro bono in their spare 
time, running such an entity needs funds. Travel support, participation 
in events, providing infrastructure, and many other areas need to be 
covered. Without all your support, The Document Foundation would not be 
what it is today.

Your contribution made a real difference and enabled us to create a 
strong community-driven, meritocratic, vendor-neutral foundation for the 
best free office suite. We could not have done it without you.

Thank you very much for your support of The Document Foundation!

The Board of Directors
