Dear Potential Adopter,

Miro is built by a non-profit organization. Its sole purpose is to ensure that internet video is a far more open, democratic, and culturally engaging medium than traditional television. Miro is growing at an amazing pace, now with more than a million unique users each month, and it's beginning to have a real impact on openness in video distribution. To broaden this impact, we need to make Miro an even better tool for connecting video creators with audiences, and we need your help.

The heart of Miro is its open source code, carefully crafted and maintained by the staff and the global Miro community of volunteers. But creating world-class code is tough! We have one of the smallest and most efficient...

To broaden this impact, we need to make Miro an even better tool for connecting video creators with audiences, and we need your help.

The heart of Miro is its open source code, carefully crafted and maintained by the staff and the global Miro community of volunteers. But creating world-class code is tough! We have one of the smallest and most efficient budgets in the world for a project of Miro's reach, but we still need funding to improve Miro and keep it alive.

We're a small non-profit in a sea of big budget, for-profit competitors, and the recent stock market crash has severely hurt the foundations that fund the bulk of our work. But we want to take this crisis and use it as an opportunity to flip our funding model on its head. If enough of our users adopt lines of Miro code, we can create an organization that is funded from the bottom-up and not dependent on the top-down.

We aren't here to make money, we're here for a mission: to distribute wonderful video around the world in a system that's more open and decentralized than ever before. To do that, we need you to help us care for a little tiny piece of Miro.

We have thousands of lines of code that are waiting for you to adopt them. Not only will you get an adorable line of code with a cute name and face, we'll also put your name in the source code and in the about box on every copy of Miro

No one has ever done something like this before, and we've made adopting really cute and really fun. Please take on just one line and see what we can do together...

Sincerely,

Adoption Director (and Miro Co-Founder) Nicholas Reville

I'm ready to adopt
