Päiväys: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 16:45:13 +0100
Dear Otto,
I would like to ask what you have in mind for the Document Freedom Day
and if you need any help to make this campaign bigger this year.
Your support is very important!
Kind Regards,

Confidentially to team@ and finland@:
I had today a meeting at the Tampere city hall with city council member
Olli-Poika Parviainen (Green party).
Greens and Left in Tampere are very pro-FOSS, and the Left group
actually made an initiative in December
(https://palvelut2.tampere.fi/valtuustoaloitteet/yksittainen.php?diaarinumer…) that all schools in Tampere should start using LTSP. However I don't think it will pass, since the basic IT infrastructure in schools is run by the city and using LTSP only in the schools but not in the entire city would require new administrative structures.
Greens have previously also made an general initiative to increase FOSS
usage in Tampere in 2004
(http://www.tampere.fi/ekstrat/hallinto/aloite/04/164.htm), but it was
vague and didn't make a big difference.
Now we discussed with Parviainen that the Greens in Tampere should make
a new initiative that would simply require city IT department to install
at least OpenOffice or LibreOffice in all city computers side-by-side
with MS Office, so that city employees would get exposure to FOSS and
also that the city would be able to process ODT-documents anywhere. This
would be a small step on a path to the right direction and very likely
to pass and in the long run open doors for further actions.
Parviainen asked me to send him some arguments around the theme of
increasing competition in software procurement, so that the right-wing
parties would like the initiative more. Then Parviainen will write the
initiative and send a draft to me work further on in about to weeks. He
plans to get the initiative to the next city council meeting on 7th of
March. (The motivation for the quick speed is that Parliament elections
will be held 2011-04-17 and Greens are desperate to get visibility in
this topic.)
We also planned to give a few copies of VALO-CD to the Tampere city
IT-chief at the same time the initiative is made public, so that he
would get to know FOSS a little better in case he does not have a
history using it. Fear for the unknown is likely to decrease with FOSS
exposure over time.
I also gave a bunch of my FSFE business cards so that Parviainen can
give them to any city council member who wants to know more about what
FOSS is.
I also reported about this quickly to MP Sumuvuori and my next step is
to make more contacts in other municipalities and also outside the Green
party.
(Sorry for sloppy spelling, I'm in a hurry, as always..)

Ihan noin tiedoksi, että MTV3 avasi oman vaalikoneensa, että
alkaisikohan olla aika mietiskellä sen meidän kyselyn kanssa?

As you might remember from our discussions at FSCONS, this issue is
vital to me. The current fee (and to some degree the unfriendly
Fellowship join form) stop 99% of the potential Finnish Fellows from
joining (based on my experience so far). I'm ready to do a big push for
FOSS-issues in Finland now when the elections are just a few months away
and I'm willing to do it as a FSFE representative, thus gaining lots and
lots of visibility and moral support for us.
I feel that some of my effort is wasted if I don't harness the
visibility to get some of the FOSS-population to join and monetary fund
some organisation that fights for the cause.
Do you think that as a compromise, the Finnish translation of the
near-future version of the join page could advertise a lower fee than in
other languages?
That could also serve as an interesting study on the matter of
Fellowship fee elasticity, as the economic term goes, without risking
anything European wide..
I know this matter is not easy, but I want to bring it up again, so that
you know that it is very important to me.

Oletko saanut puhujia kasaan?
Liitteenä tiedosto, johon olen keräillyt eri vapaasoftayhteistöjen
yhteystietoja Suomesta (puutteellinen luonnos, mutta ei hyödytön).
Voisit kysellä puhujia ko. yhteisöistä ja projekteista, sekä samalla
mainostaa Finhackia.

Terve,
Kiitos tapaamisesta. Se oli mielestämme antoisa ja jäämme hyvillä
mielin odottelemaan miten Rautio asian hoitaa ja miten maaliskuussa
mahdollisesti aloittava uusi henkilö tulee lopulta tekemään. Raution
kertomus siitä, että lautamiesten koneisiin asennetaan OpenOffice,
sisältää pienen riskin, että kokeilu toteutetaan huonosti ja
lautamiehet saavat OpenOfficesta negatiivisen kuvan, mutta en tiedä
voimmeko ehkäistä asiaa mitenkään.
Yritän seuraavaksi tavata Olli-Poika Parviaisen ja ehdottaa hänelle
vastaavantyyppisen aloitteen tekemistä Tampereella.
Kirjoitit muuten aiemmin mahdollisesta VALO-tilaisuudesta eduskunnassa
helmikuussa. Jos kansanedustajan roolissa haluat edustaa vapaita ja
avoimen lähdekoodin ohjelmia, niin voisimme joskus myös keskustella
mitä asian eteen voisi kansallisella tasolla tehdä. Voit myös
kirjoittaa tai soitella koska vaan jos voin jotenkin auttaa asiassa.
Vielä kerran, kiitos tapaamisesta!

Terve Johanna,
Tapasin tänään Olli-Poika Parviaisen Tampereella ja hän lupasi tehdä
aiheesta aloitteen ja minä puolestani lupasin auttaa itse tekstin
valmistelun kanssa.
Eli asia etenee hienosti. Mitenköhän asiaa saisi muihinkin kuntiin?
