| − | == Recommended Methods ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Emphasis ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | LibrePlanet groups are about raising the profile of freedom and ethical
| |
| − | concerns. They aren't primarily about promoting the technical advantages of
| |
| − | free software like GNU/Linux. To this end, they should refer to the operating system
| |
| − | as GNU/Linux (GNU plus Linux), not Linux. They are clear about the distinction between free
| |
| − | software and open source, and prefer the term free software.
| |
| − | | |
| − | LibrePlanet is a project intent on removing restrictive software laws and
| |
| − | practices, educating the public to the dangers of restrictive legislation by
| |
| − | providing a platform to act and defend their freedom, and giving them the
| |
| − | collective power to change their society through coordinated action.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Software advocacy ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | When it comes to advocacy through promoting software, groups should try to
| |
| − | promote operating system distributions that are on the list of
| |
| − | [http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions fully free distributions], and individual programs that are distributed under | |
| − | [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html free software licenses]. | |
| − | | |
| − | === Fundraising ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Groups that want to help support the LibrePlanet network and the other work of
| |
| − | the FSF often encourage their members or attendees at their events to
| |
| − | [http://donate.fsf.org donate to the FSF]. They pass out FSF membership sign-up
| |
| − | cards and collect contributions which they then forward directly to the FSF.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Groups are of course also welcome to fundraise for themselves. They
| |
| − | should be clear about where the money is going. They should not give the
| |
| − | impression that money they are raising is going to the Free Software
| |
| − | Foundation, the GNU Project, or LibrePlanet unless that is actually the
| |
| − | case.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Advertising ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sites should not have advertising for proprietary software on their
| |
| − | pages. This means that having things like Google Ads will require
| |
| − | filters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Resources ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | LibrePlanet will strive to provide all the necessary resources to create and
| |
| − | operate a group. Groups can certainly also develop and host their own
| |
| − | resources, but since our mission is to create a free world, they should not
| |
| − | depend on proprietary resources.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Organization ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you need to step down from a role you have in your group, especially
| |
| − | if you are the official group contact, please do so in a way that
| |
| − | minimizes impact on the group. We know that people want to sometimes
| |
| − | move on and do different things -- if you give us some notice that
| |
| − | you'll be leaving your role, we can help find a new contact for the
| |
| − | group.
