Project #vGiveback

Duncan Epping · Aug 30, 2015 ·

It is VMworld again, and just like last year VMware decided to give back to the community. No I am not talking about the virtualization community, but I am talking about charity, the great thing is that just like last year you can get VMware to give away an X amount to a charity cause of your choice (health, children, education or environment). As a friend of the VMware foundation I would like to ask ALL of you to help. So what do you need to do, what is the goal?

Well it is simple. Publish a picture on either Instagram or Twitter. Make sure the picture represents the cause and of course you need to tag it, use #vGiveBack and copy in @vmwFoundation. Your message should look like something like this:

Make sure to take a pic at Mos West and select your charity cause! Slightly awkward though 😀 #environment #vGiveBack pic.twitter.com/UUJ1EvO58X

(Causes can be: #health #children #education or #environment)

The goal is 10,000 photos between Monday, August 31st and Thursday, September 3rd, out of which a mosaic will be crated. The final image for the mosaic symbolizes our community impact, and once complete, unlocks a donation that will be divided in proportion to the causes you select.

So what am I asking?

  1. Post a picture on twitter or instagram with the right hashtags and make copy in @vmwFoundation (it doesn’t need to be in front of one of those signs by the way, it can be a different pic…)
  2. Ask all of your friends to do the same, we need to hit that number lets make this go viral!

Every little bit will help. Each tweet or instagram post will bring us one step closer to unlocking our collective impact. If you don’t have twitter or instagram, ask your wife/son/daughter/friend to post for you!
