I've written an introductory letter to the SFC which I'll post here for
your feedback before sending it to them.
If they are interested in Synfig they send us proper application forms
later.
the letter:
------
Hello.
We in the community of Synfig Studio are interested in coming under your
Software Freedom Conservancy umbrella.
Synfig Studio is a 2D vector animation software. It is highly competent
and very versatile with a value node system where almost anything can be
animated. Different values can be connected and complex math formulas
can be used to create intricate relationships. In this aspect it is very
much up to par and rivaling with proprietary 2D animation systems. Often
even surpassing them.
Currently the team behind Synfig Studio is a loose network of volunteers
from around the world without any formal organisation. We count coding
developers, design developers, animation professionals and enthusiasts
to our group.
Different aspects of the Synfig eco system heavily relies on the
presence of single key individuals and it could suffer much if any of
those few persons for some reason dissapears.
We would like to join mainly to get stability to the project. We would
need some overhead organisation, holding all Synfigs assets like source
code, web servers, owning user accounts the project uses, keep all
passwords we have, web stores, etc.
We also need someone to have an overall responsibility over the
economics, managing donations, etc.
Synfig is now seeing a quite active development. In recent years several
long time committed developers have started on the project.
We have several large features in the making; A migration of the
internal render engine to Cairo for a faster and more responsive canvas
is in development, GUI elements are being reworked for a better user
experience and better workflow, a bone system is planned, etc.
The future for Synfig is looking bright with interested developers, new
users coming every week and an ongoing work to create a better, faster
workflow and a more appealing software.
Our goal is to offer a serious f/loss alternative as a professional 2D
animation tool, much like Blender nowadays is a viable option in the 3D
animation field.
Regards,
The Synfig community though David Rylander, Sweden.

Hi!
continuing the thread [1] started here and taking account that we are
on June 1st, there are three months and a half for the due date to
join SFC organization.
I don't want to reach the due date in a hurry and prepare a poor
presentation. We need to start *now* to prepare the form and collect
the needed information to success it.
Anyone to join on this?
