<p>One thing that might help ever so little ... <br>

<p>Several of my colleagues signed the letter.</p>
<p>My company wanted to support the project officially, including a
donation of money, and desired to have its logo listed among the
"supporting organizations".</p>
<p>However, these can only be non-profits/civil society
organizations, so we couldn't be listed as official supporters
(and our CEO kept his money).</p>
<p>I can understand that for-profit companies are not NGOs, but why
not have a section with "supporting companies"? If many signed up,
it would also make a statement that actual companies working
within the economy etc. support this motion.</p>

<div>Hi!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I worriedly watch the slowing down of the accumulation of the
signatures of the Public Money Public Code open letter. I think
this is a great campaign that should reach as much people as
possible and the slowing down bellow 15k signatures sort of
suggest that its spreading started fading way too soon. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Maybe we (FSFE volunteers, supporters, and members) should
give the campaign an extra push. I'm pretty certain that the
vast majority of people haven't even heard about the campaign
yet. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some ideas: <br>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Can't we know and get some celebrities of relatively famous
guys sympathizing with Free Software who may openly support
the camping and attract others to join as supporters? I don't
know Stephen Fry is very famous and I have seen him
advertising Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre on youtube, Bryan Lunduke
also have some fame and a regular youtube program on Free
Software related stuff, and probably there are plenty of
people who may worth a shot to ask... <br>
</li>
<li>I also think it would be worth bringing the campaign to the
streets. A couple of volunteers could bring campaign stickers
or flyers (<a
href="https://git.fsfe.org/gergely/PMPC_QR-code_flyers"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://git.fsfe.org/gergely/PMPC_QR-code_flyers</a>)
and distribute them to the passers-by. (If you are [or know]
someone in Budapest who would happily join me doing that
please contact me. Unfortunately, I would feel embarrassed to
do this alone... :-/)<br>
</li>
<li>I think putting posters to bulletin boards in universities
would also be great. Lack of official posters link <a
href="https://git.fsfe.org/gergely/PMPC_QR-code_flyers"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://git.fsfe.org/gergely/PMPC_QR-code_flyers</a>
here too. I totally plan to do this with the linked QR-code
flyers even alone but if you are in Budapest and happy to join
please contact me as this is also more fun to do in pairs or
in groups.<br>
</li>
<li>I think the campaign should also be boosted on online
platforms (forums, blogs, social media, etc). I'm only on
diaspora* there I think I did my part (maybe on diaspora* most
of the active users are already reached)... <br>
</li>
<li>I don't know if opening and keeping alive threads about the
campaign on 4chan /g/ is a good idea or not? but I can help in
that... Also if you can recommend online platforms where I can
help engaging in discussion about the campaign I'm happy to do
so. <br>
</li>
</ul>
<div>All in all: Keep spreading the message are way too many
people to be reached!!! <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What do you think?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,<br>
