<p>We are entering the second year of our <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html">lawsuit against Vizio</a>.
While there's a long way to go in this groundbreaking suit, we've already
attained an initial <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/news/2022/may/16/vizio-remand-win/">historic victory</a>
in succeeding to remand the case back from federal to state court.
We've been grateful to see so much support from our Sustainers and communities
around the promise our case holds for consumer rights. With the rise of the <a
href="https://www.repair.org/">Right to Repair</a> movement, we've seen a
growing desire from "everyday consumers" to have the ability to repair the
software on their phones and other internet connected devices. Our projects
like <a href="https://openwrt.org/">OpenWrt</a> and <a
href="https://coreboot.org/">coreboot</a> are integral in giving people the
freedom to choose what software runs (and can be repaired) on their own
devices. (And speaking of our projects, there's a highlight of what some of
projects did this year below!) We also pursued many other violations (that our

<p>We also started a campaign to <b><a href="https://giveupgithub.org">Give Up
GitHub</a></b>. With more and more corporate interest and investment into FOSS,
we see a trend of community resources being bought up and controlled by
singular corporate entities. Having lived through multiple acquisitions and
extinctions of gratis code forges before, GitHub is just the most recent holder
of the title. Contrary to it's namesake project, <a href="https://git-scm.com/">git</a>
GitHub remains a proprietary, centralized
and hierarchical method of working on software. Stripping the underlying power
and versatility that has allowed it to become the canonical tool for
distributed software development. A single corporation controlling this piece
of critical infrastructure is clearly a harmful idea, a corporation will always
serve it's shareholders and not the community that it depends on growing and
keeping within it's walled garden. Please check out our <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jun/30/give-up-github-launch/">blog post</a>

After two successful rounds of interns in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
<acronym title="The Institute for Computing in Research">ICR</acronym>
expanded its intern cohort to include a selection of six high school
students in Portland, Oregon. These unique paid internships introduce high
school students to software freedom as part of a summer research position
that focuses on introducing young scholars to computing in areas of
physical science, life science, social science, arts, and
humanities. Supported by academics at Portland State University, Reed
College, and Oregon State University, the cohort in Portland has projects
in computational biology, natural language processing, pure math, and AI

<div data-read-more="A note on t-shirts&hellip;">
<p>We're all sick of hearing about supply chains, global shortages, and
deliveries being delayed. But we must tell you up-front that since we have
a small staff we try to batch our t-shirt orders, and given the realities
of the pandemic, we are often a few months behind on t-shirt deliveries.
Those owed t-shirts from early 2021 renewals should receive them by years'
end. Meanwhile, we're working on a new t-shirt design for this year; check
back here for an announcement later in the fundraising season! All
renewals during this fundraising season will receive the new shirt! We so
appreciate everyone's patience! </p>

<div data-read-more="Would you like a last chance to receive a vintage Conservancy t-shirt? Find out how&hellip;">
<p>If you're a Sustainer, you've already received or will soon receive a
t-shirt in our 2018 design shown here. But,
would you like to take advantage of a last chance to get our vintage design &mdash; seen sported so often
by <a href="https://twitter.com/bensturmfels/status/599118574641262592">our earliest Sustainers</a> at <a href="https://twitter.com/conservancy/status/786480068512002048">conferences and events</a>? If so, read on!</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE: Just give $256 total for this year's fundraiser and
receive an additional vintage T-shirt!</strong></p>
<p>But first, as a note to how difficult this year has been, we know that many of our 2019 Sustainers are still
awaiting their t-shirts, which have the wonderful 2018 design. We've had difficulty working through
keeping our staff safe during the pandemic lock downs and making trips to the post office &mdash; historically,
we on staff all shared the post office trips, but we all have different COVID-19 risk factors and thus it's all moving
slowly. We appreciate the patience of our Sustainers waiting for t-shirts, and we do have plan to safely send out
the backlog by years' end.</p>
<p>As part of those preparations, we found a treasure trove and now have an exciting promotion for renewing
Sustainers. We found an old stash of <strong>vintage t-shirts</strong>, in the old style! Supplies are limited,
but for those few sustainers who would like to receive one, we have a special offer. Sustainers who give
$256 or more between 2020-01-15 and 2021-01-15 can receive one of these vintage t-shirts! To claim your vintage t-shirt, do the following:

<li> <a href="mailto:vintaget@sfconservancy.org">Email &lt;vintaget@sfconservancy.org&gt;</a> and include the email
address and date(s) of your donation(s) that total $256 and your

<p>You too can look cool in the vintage design. Or maybe your original has faded and you're ready to spruce up with a new one? As we said,
