| − | = Rules =
| |
| − | | |
| − | All LibrePlanet participants including individuals, projects, and teams, must agree with our founding documents. We must work together in accordance with our mission statement, we must act accountable to our code of conduct, and we must follow these rules and guidelines accordingly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Our mission statement establishes our motivation and the end goal we are working together towards. The LibrePlanet name should always be strongly associated with our mission.
| |
| − | * Our code of conduct lays out what kind of behavior we must always maintain to ensure we can collaborate effectively and advance an open and productive movement.
| |
| − | * Our rules and guidelines bind all of these principles together so that the LibrePlanet project is a cohesive effort to advance free software.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Those who violate these principles may be banned from group communication channels.

| − | == 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.
