> Open source programs: If you are a maintainer on an open-source project, and would like to request Heroku support for your project, contact the Salesforce Open Source Program office at [e-mail].

Both the text version of this email ([e-mail]) and the mailto it actually links ([e-mail]) appear to be invalid.

I tried both and got:

> We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact ($GROUP) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group.

This should be fixed now...

FTR: The correct address is [e-mail]

Thank you!

classy!

I was just about to write an email too, I guess I won't... yet?

[cdubzzz]

Yeah. I did some Internet sleuthing and found a potential contact for the Salesforce Open Source Program Office and reached out. We'll see if they get back.

So, after contacting Bob Wise via Linked In (as he graciously invited readers of his blog post to do!), I constructed a concise but hopefully persuasive email about why they might want to sponsor me, to eventually successfully get this form response...

> Thank you for reaching out to [e-mail] in reference to requesting Heroku Credits for qualified and selected Open Source Programs.

> We are in the process of finalizing the selection criteria and will contact you when we are ready to start the process; we anticipate this as no later than Dreamforce.

> In the meantime, should you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us via the above email address.

["above email address" not sure what it means, the email was sent from a personal email address, which i won't share on HN]

So... not yet, in fact!

I had to look up what/when is "Dreamforce", looks like Sep 20-22.

Haha ditto! I assumed that was a typo at first.
