Hello dear country lists,
The PDFReaders campaign (http://www.fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders) is going very well, but we still lack some signatures from businesses in the petition part!
As a country list, you are probably the one entity with best knowledge about businesses in your country. That's why it would be very kind of yours if you could send emails to them, directing them to our campaign page and petition.
Hereunder you will find an example mail written by Maëlle, which you can probably send almost as is.
Let us know how well you can spread the word! Thanks a lot in advance, Nicolas
------------------------------ Hello !
The Free Software Foundation Europe has started on Monday a campaign [1] to expose the frequency at which governments advertise for non-free software (in this case, pdfreaders) on their websites and to make it change.
As part of this campaign, we have written a petition [2] that we will send to governments, alongside with an explanatory letter to explain why we think they should stop these practices and rather advertise free software. We would be very thankful, if you could spread the word about our campaign to your company members or even submit a signature as a company, and help us thereby to gather a maximum of signatories for our petition.
To sign it, you simply need to send a mail to pdfreaders@lists.fsfe.org with subject "I sign the Petition".
Looking forward to hearing from you, Best regards
Maëlle Costa
