It can be sent now I think. We'll recieve application forms which then
will be decided upon at SFCs two annual meetings, september in our case.
They probably are happy to recieve applications well in time before the
deadlines so they can review them without stress.

I looks fair good to me.
I don't remember when is the proper time to send this letter to SFC.
Will it be on the next joining open window (September)? or can it be
sent earlier?
Cheers!

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?
