This will add a vote for libjpeg-turbo for SourceForge Project of the
Month (NOTE: you can only vote once.)  The winning project will get an
exclusive interview and be featured on the SourceForge home page, which
could potentially attract new sponsors for our project.

As you know, the harsh reality of open source software is that, despite
the software being provided for free, almost all prominent, high-quality
open source development is done by paid developers (you get what you pay
for, essentially.)  In most cases, the developers are employees of a
corporation or other organization that is paying them to develop the
open source code in the context of that organization's broader agenda.
libjpeg-turbo is one of the few prominent open source projects that
works purely on a patronage model, which means that we can maintain the
product in a vendor-agnostic manner, free of any one organization's
agenda.  However, that also means that exposure for our project is
critical to its long-term success.

Thank you for your continued support,
DRC
