Group: Freedom Ladder/Stories

Free software stories

We believe people's stories about the use cases of free software, and also on how they got into free software, as well as on the difficulties that sometimes need to be overcome, will help us better represent and address the multitude of audiences we want to speak to. It will show that free software really is for everyone, and for everyone there is a step forward.

fictional or real life experiences, it will be very helpful in the next phase of the freedom ladder campaign the FSF is developing!
