<p>The &os; Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
dedicated to supporting and promoting the &os; Project and
community worldwide. Most of our funding is used to support
&os; development projects, conferences and developer summits,
purchase equipment to grow and improve the &os; infrastructure,
and provide legal support for the Project.</p>
<p>We listened to our donors who asked us to have more fundraising
efforts throughout the year. This quarter we had the second of
three fundraising campaigns planned for 2013. We started the
quarter having raised $365,291. By the end of the quarter, we
raised $410,000 for the year. These early donations have made a
