Let’s mark the launch of Firefox 1.0 with a community marketing campaign that will take the buzz around Firefox to the next level: the first-ever, full-page advertisement in a major daily newspaper created and paid for by the open source community.

Here is how it works:

The full-page ad will include the names of everyone who supports the campaign along with a message about the benefits/features of Firefox.

The campaign will act as a fundraiser to support all Firefox 1.0 launch activities, not just the ad itself.

An individual contribution of $30 will get your name included in the ad ($10 student rate).

Special recognition — Community Champion — will be given to people who enlist 10 of their friends in this campaign. (These folks have a shot at having their name in the lower half of the ad.)

There are also two packages available for businesses to participate.

If you have a Spread Firefox account, you will receive 100 sfx points per name slot that you purchase or refer.

The goal: sign up 2500 names!
