<h2>How can you help us?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The most direct way to support the <a
|
|
href="../documents/whatwedo.html">work</a> and <a
|
|
href="../documents/whyweexist.html">goals</a> of the FSF Europe is
|
|
through volunteering for things that need to be done. We are extremely
|
|
glad about the help we have received from the community so far and
|
|
welcome every new contributor.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you haven't done so already, we suggest that you subscribe to
|
|
the FSF Europe
|
|
<a href="http://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo">mailing lists</a>
|
|
you're
|
|
interested in and take a look at the archives to see what has been
|
|
discussed already.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you feel you can and want to help with one or the other task,
|
|
a mail to an appropriate mailing list is a good way of getting
|
|
involved. If you do not find a good list to use you can
|
|
also send emails to the international <a href="mailto:team@fsfeurope.org">
|
|
<code>team@fsfeurope.org</code></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>More specific tasks that we need help with:</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Web pages</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Web pages are a constant bottleneck. Keeping them up to date and
|
|
available in as many languages as possible requires permanent
|
|
attention. At the same time it is one of the most efficient ways of
|
|
informing about Free Software, issues of digital society and the work
|
|
of the FSF Europe.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Giving a hand is possible and very much appreciated on both an
|
|
irregular as well as regular basis. Please find more information and
|
|
quick-start instructions <a href="/help/web.html">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>[SEEKING COORDINATOR]</b> If you feel willing to take on
|
|
responsibility of helping others contribute to the page, coordinating
|
|
web page volunteers and keeping an eye on the issues at hand, please
|
|
get in touch with the <a href="mailto:web@fsfeurope.org">web
|
|
list</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Translations</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>A central issue always in need of translations is the web page,
|
|
which you can find some <a href="/help/web.html">dedicated
|
|
information</a> for.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But the web page is not the only thing in need of translation and
|
|
proofreading. Press releases, brochures and leaflets can also reach
|
|
more people when translated. Help with this is greatly
|
|
appreciated.</p>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Tradeshow booths</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FSF Europe has to get in touch with people outside the
|
|
community to make them realize there is more to Free Software than
|
|
just nice programs and to familiarize them with the FSF.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>An important part of this is being present at tradeshows. But
|
|
although we can normally provide everything needed to set up such a
|
|
booth, there is one thing we cannot simply generate: people.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We need volunteers to be present at the booths, talk to people,
|
|
explain to them the philosophy of Free Software and what the FSF and
|
|
GNU Project are all about and simply be there. Nothing looks worse
|
|
than an empty tradeshow booth. Also we prefer to have local volunteers
|
|
take over organization of the booths.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Organisation of the tradeshow appearances usually
|
|
happens over the language localised list or on the
|
|
<a href="http://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/booth"
|
|
>booth coordination list</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Various public tasks</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can follow some of the current tasks of the FSF Europe at the
|
|
URL <code><a
|
|
href="http://savannah.gnu.org/pm/?group_id=53">http://savannah.gnu.org/pm/?group_id=53</a></code>.
|
|
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.</p>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Donations</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Another way to support the work of the FSF Europe is through
|
|
donations. As with any other organization, the effectiveness of the
|
|
FSF Europe depends on its financial resources. Paying people to work
|
|
on and for Free Software, printing brochures, mailing journalists and
|
|
politicians, providing infrastructure for projects and much more
|
|
depends on this. If you feel you can contribute to our work
|
|
financially, you will find information on how to do so on our <a
|
|
href="donate.html">donations</a> page.</p>
