Advocacy of Free Software
This section is dedicated to the project Advocacy of Free Software
The Fellows of Free Software Foundation Europe can use this section to collect FAQ, presentation and teaching materials to effectively advocate Free Software.
Advocacy is a critical part of supporting a movement like Free Software. It is part education, part engagement. It is where we share our enthusiasm for Free Software and in the process make other people enthusiastic about it too. This is where every fellow can make a significant contribution to the FSFE and share our ideals with computer users, computer programmers and technology enthusiasts everywhere.
Advocacy is not just formal lectures. You can advocate Free Software when you talk to your coworkers, when you attend a conference and when you visit a user group. Advocacy is about engaging people with our ideals in a positive and constructive manner.
There are no enforced rules to advocacy. However, there are some tips to help ensure that audiences are engaged and and goals are accomplished. This part of the fellowship site is intended to collect our tips together so we can improve and coordinate our individual advocacy. If you have presentation notes, tips or guides you would like to see added please write an e-mail either to discussion@fsfeurope.org (the public mainling list) or discussion@lists.fsfe.org (the internal mailing list for Fellows).
Advocacy Project – draft – Fellows get proactive
Local groups have often organized meetings in schools or local libraries to introduce the Free Software movement. With the Advocacy Project, Fellows want to build on 20 years of experience advocating Free Software to bring the movement to newer generations.
Audio/Videos
This is a list of Free Software videos and audio recordings. Videos can be an extremely valuable learning tool - and often interesting and entertaining.
