Hi!
|
||||
|
||||
We are very pleased to hear that you want to help the FSF
|
||||
Europe. Every little bit helps promoting Free Software and its
|
||||
philosophy.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the core team is very busy organizing the legal steps
|
||||
associated with setting up the FSF Europe (if you take a look at
|
||||
the maling list archives you will see that this is not as easy as
|
||||
we would prefer it to be).
|
||||
|
||||
We are very actively gathering information about the situation
|
||||
of Free Software in every European country, however. Examples of
|
||||
things we would like to hear about are: schedules of events
|
||||
related to Free Software, the tendency and actions regarding
|
||||
software patents, the names and coordinates of officials,
|
||||
newspapers, columnists and non-profit associations involved in
|
||||
Free Software or intellectual property as well as possible groups
|
||||
that might be fit to become associated to the FSF Europe.
|
||||
|
||||
Promoting the Free Software philosophy is very much a matter of
|
||||
contact, cooperation and information. With your help and all
|
||||
thepeople you can convince to do the same, the FSF Europe will
|
||||
be able to more effectively further Free Software.
|
||||
|
||||
If you haven't done so already, we suggest that you subscribe
|
||||
to the FSF Europe mailing lists at http://mailman.fsfeurope.org
|
||||
and take a look at the archives to inform yourself on what has
|
||||
been discussed already.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also a few concrete tasks you could become active on,
|
||||
if you want.
|
||||
|
||||
1.) Web pages. If you want to contribute by building the FSF
|
||||
Europe web pages, you can export them to your own computer and
|
||||
modify them to improve or add what you have in mind. See the
|
||||
page https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=53 for technical
|
||||
details. When you've modified the pages, generate a patch and
|
||||
upload it at https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group_id=53. It
|
||||
will be reviewed and shortly integrated if we agree that it is a
|
||||
useful addition. If you plan to contribute on a regular basis we
|
||||
can provide you with a protected access that allows you to
|
||||
modify the pages by yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
2.) Various public tasks. You can follow the current tasks of
|
||||
the FSF
|
||||
Europe at the URL https://savannah.gnu.org/pm/?group_id=53.
|
||||
Don't hesitate to suggest new subjects. If you want to be
|
||||
actively involved in the task management, we can grant you the
|
||||
necessary rights to do so.
|
||||
|
||||
3.) Donations. There is a bank account that can be used for
|
||||
donations if time is of the essence. If possible we would like to
|
||||
ask you to wait until the FSFE has an official donation bank
|
||||
account. The FSFE will seek to achieve charitable status, so
|
||||
donations will be tax-deductible whenever possible.
|
||||
|
||||
Discussions should take place on the mailing lists mentioned
|
||||
above. All information that you would like to tell the FSFE in
|
||||
private can be sent to team@fsfeurope.org.
