Campaigns

Existing

Working Together For Free Software

Welcoming newcomers

How does the refocused homepage look?

  • We should create a Working Together for Free Software badge that featured projects can display and link back to the campaign --Dpic 15:00, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Profiles

Suggest individuals involved in free software to have their profile featured by the FSF.

Defective By Design

Post ideas here: Group:DefectiveByDesign/Ideas

Events

Existing

LibrePlanet Conference

  • Offer a solution of live video / audio streaming of the conference --Aurélien 9:49 Sat Febuary 9.50 (UTC 2012
  • It should be an international event that is also hosted outside the U.S. just like GPLv3 conferences. This can be done in collaboration with other FSF* organizations. In addition, it should be in summer instead of March where many people are able to consider attending. These two issues do matter to many free software advocates who are students.--OsamaK 15:04, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposals

FSF 25th Anniversary

  • The Free Software Foundation's birthday is October 4th: Social gatherings? A simple, orchestrated global action? Something? --Dpic 18:29, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Either GNU/Hurd or GNU OS stickers (similar in scope to the GNU/Linux sticker*
  • Cotton T-shirts with messages about freedom plus a GNU reference. They can be serious or funny. E.g.:
    • Front: (large text) I am a hacker. (smaller bullet points) I solve interesting problems so you don't have to. I respect the freedom of my users. I defend that freedom with Copyleft. I run GNU/Linux. Back: Free Software Foundation logo Mtraceur 22:44, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
    • It's free software and it gives you freedom!
    • My computer is running software which respects me.
    • Call me $WHATEVER, but my computer obeys me.
    • Freedom is an important thing. Because of that I use GNU.
    • No, I won't use that privative software.
    • GNU Emacs User (or) Emacs User
      • I second this. (After the Emacs mugs selling out in 24hrs, I think the case is made for the viability of this.) Ciaran 16:51, 11 May 2012 (EDT)
