<h1>Mission is possible: FSFE needs your help to make a progress in the PDFreaders campaign!</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>FSFE calls Free Software supporters to participate in the
|
|
ongoing <a href="/activities/pdfreaders/pdfreaders.html">PDFreaders campaign</a>
|
|
and remind public institutions to remove advertisements of proprietary PDF
|
|
readers from their websites.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The PDFreaders campaign was launched in November 2010 to end advertisements
|
|
for proprietary software on public institutions' websites. Thanks to efforts of
|
|
our Fellows and other Free Software activists, the first phase of the campaign
|
|
was successfully implemented: we discovered and <a
|
|
href="/activities/pdfreaders/letter.html">contacted</a> more than 2000 public
|
|
bodies across Europe and overseas.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To date, 17 percent of the contacted public institutions already replied and
|
|
removed the non-free PDF reader advertisements from their websites. The current
|
|
progress of the campaign can be seen on <a
|
|
href="/activities/pdfreaders/buglist.html">FSFE's buglist</a>. However, as many
|
|
of the contacted institutions have not replied yet, we want to remind them
|
|
about the letter we have sent and ask for a reply. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To take part, follow the <a
|
|
href="/activities/pdfreaders/follow-up.html">actions from our follow-up
|
|
guide</a>. In short this is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>have a look <a href="/activities/pdfreaders/buglist.html">at
|
|
organisations</a> in your country which appear as not having answered yet,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>contact them and remind of the FSFE letter on inadmissibility of
|
|
advertising of proprietary software by public institutions,</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>ask them to remove the advertising of proprietary software from their
|
|
websites as it is violating the principle of neutrality of public bodies.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you discover a public institution website that advertises non-free
|
|
software and is not on our list, you are encouraged to contact them on your own
|
|
using a modifed version of <a href="/activities/pdfreaders/letter.html"> our
|
|
letter</a>. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to
|
|
contact us at pdfreaders@lists.fsfe.org.</p>
