Hi guys
I wanted to update you with regards the FAQ for giving talks about Free
Software.
There is a new section on the fellowship site for advocacy. At the
moment you'll find the English version of the FAQ there. We also have
the FAQ in the following languages:
- - German
- - French
- - Spanish
- - Italian
- - Bulgarian
Someone offered to do a Turkish translation and I'm waiting on that.
I've also been cheeky and asked a Japanese friend to do a Japanese
translation. Ditto Chinese Mandarin and Chinese Cantonese.
The translations of the FAQ are waiting on an update to the followship
CMS board system to allow all the characters to display properly.
Now, regarding the advocacy section of the site: I want to add a lot
more material there to help people spread the word about Free Software.
Suggestions and material welcome!
Regards
Shane

What about classifying businesses according to the
Debian
guidelines (main, contrib and non-free)?
Businesses that deal with 100% free software (from
development to production) will fit in the main
section, the others in either contrib or non free.
By the way, I remember somebody here telling me some
time ago that the GBN was thrown a spanner from the
outside. I can only see spanners from inside.

Ciaran, I am willing to work on the videos if you wish, just say the word if that will expedite things!

Is it a good idea to sign the protest letter at
http://techp.org/petition/show/1 ?
(Slightly surprised I've only seen 'Cutting Free' discussing this so
far. Scratching around, I see it in slashdot comments, but wow!)

University of Cologne also tells people by default to use non-free
software (from Cisco), but they now also have a documentation [1]
(german only) about using the free alternative vpnc.

The Universitiy of Frankfurt/Main not only wants you to use non-free
software
(Nortel), you also have to pay for it if you are non-windows user (130
Euros afaik), windows licences, however, are free for students and staff.
There is also a wpa encrypted network, however it is not working everywhere
(no access via wpa in the libraries!) and support is only granted for AIX
and Redhat; the computer centre actually refused to help me set it up on my
linux laptop!
