Welcome to the FSF Groups wiki!
This wiki was started during the 2006 FSF Associate Member Meeting to help organize ways to bring free software as a movement "into the mainstream."
We started by organizing the FSF members at the 2006 meeting into groups based on geography. They then brainstormed ideas for how to organize people around issues central to the free software movement, and posted those ideas on a wiki page titled after their region. You can read those ideas on the pages linked to from the 2006 Member Meeting page.
We would now like to invite you to participate, and help to get you connected to others in your geographical area.
We will be placing pages here for broad areas, starting with states and countries. If you are interested in being contacted about organizing efforts in your area, please add your name and whatever contact information you would like to share (an email address or home page would be good) to a page near you.
Please feel free to divide up these regions into smaller ones as the lists grow, to add new ways of organizing people, and new ideas for free software campaigns and issues that we should all be acting on.
If you are organizing a free software event, or attending an event at which you can distribute materials about free software. Please write to us to request materials at info@fsf.org
For examples of the rules for some tactics, see Power Tactics.
Please see the Activism Guide for effective action.
Join others and get involved in planning and helping priority projects.
Remember that this wiki is focused on free software, not open source. Also be mindful of the power of words and the importance of framing the issues we discuss and work on in the best possible terms.
