Do you like football? Well you do not have to, to participate at the
EURO 2012. Guido Arnold announced a parallel tournament for the
European football championship 2012. The criteria: Free Software usage
in the public administration. The rules are relatively simple, you can
read them in Guido's blog [1].
Tomorrow evening there will be 22 matches [2]. Enough time for you to
influence the them.
Either you create a wiki account [3] and add information about Free
Software usage in the public administration to the overview page [4], or
you write a short message with the hashtag #euro4fs to Guido (in CC).
One possible source is OSOR's news archive [5].
As it is common in football since some time to bribe the referee, this
is also possible: Just transfer the money to FSFE's bank account (other
payment methods [6])
