Legacy advertisers

Open Source & Free Software Reporter would like to thank those advertisers who start out with us by providing a "legacy advertiser" program

Legacy advertisers are those who sign ad contacts with OSFSR between February 2007 and February 2008.

Our offer to legacy advertisers is to lock in the original price of advertising for a minimum of 24 months, with an option of keeping the same price and/or offering additional placement of ads at a price discounted from what expects to be a higher ad rate two years down the line.

On the Web site, legacy advertisers also will have a special page with links to their pages.

For more information, contact Larry Cafiero.
