Roktoberfest: The Amarok Project Fundraiser
===========================================

   The Amarok Project is giving away an iPod Nano during its current
fundraiser to celebrate the month of Roktober.  Anyone that gives the
equivalent of $10 or more is automatically entered in a random drawing
to win a 2GB iPod Nano.  Amazingly, a year has past since the last
fundraiser.  Having the ability to spend some money on project resources
and hardware made a big difference to the project's productivity.  The
past year has seen much progress on the Amarok front with a 1.4 release
that saw a whopping 64 new features, a very successful developer meeting
in May and basic groundwork laid for the port to KDE 4.  Plans for 2007
include at least one more meeting to hack on Amarok 2.0. There is a
PayPal link and more information on the Amarok website
