Sorry for the late notice on this.
The start of the fund drive has been delayed for at least a few days. The reason is to give us time to prepare more translations, a press release, donor feedback mechanisms (such as automatically listing new PayPal donations), and work on next quarter's budget.
I will update the translation coordination page on meta with the finalized start and end dates after the board decides that on their Friday 9 December meeting. I'll also repost to these lists.
