Zadeva: Fwd: Document Freedom Day update Germany / Austria -- some ideas for your country Datum: torek 23. februarja 2010 Od: Karsten Gerloff gerloff@fsfeurope.org Za: hook@fsfe.org
hi Matija,
I hope you're doing well!
Document Freedom Day (DFD) on March 31 is drawing closer, and we want to start the international DFD campaign on March 1 -- that's next Monday.
You said that this would be an interesting thing for the Slovenian Fellowship group to work on, and I agree! It would be great if you could think up something to do locally.
In the message below, there are a number of ideas for things to do. It's all about doing something fun that raises awareness for Open Standards and open file formats.
The coolest thing I can think of is to find an organisation (especially in the public sector) in Slovenia that makes exemplary use of Open Standards for their documents, and give them a prize. In Germany, two Fellowship groups will be presenting a cake with the DFD logo to a radio station that offers its archives in Ogg/Vorbis.
The way things are looking, we will probably be able to support you with a little money for materials (getting T-Shirts printed, a few props for local action, etc -- somewhere around EUR 200). But that funding isn't confirmed yet.
Other things to do would be
- helping to promote the campaign, by translating press releases, microblogging etc.
- getting other organisations in Slovenia to become partners for DFD -- just have them contact Fernanda, who is in copy. She's organsing the campaign. Being a partner means things helping with the PR, posting articles in the campaign blog on http://documentfreedom.org [still under construction], putting the DFD logo on their website, etc. Fernanda and I will be happy to provide more info.
Are you interested? Please let me know what you think.
Best regards, Karsten

At the German team meeting this weekend we discussed our activity for Document Freedom Day (31. March 2010). There will probably be a joint activity between the Austrian and the German team.
From the European team _we need_ one press release from the European team about Document Freedom day which is reffering to our local press releases. We ask the European team to organise at least on activity outside German speaking countries so DFD is not perceived as German only.
= Germany + Austria =
*Berlin* The Berlin Fellowshipgroup will go to the Deutschlandradio in Berlin at 15:00. Deutschland Radio http://www.dradio.de/ was the first radio station in Germany which used OGG vorbis streams. I informed them that in Berlin we are giving a price to an institution which was doing good things for Open Standards. We will bring them a DFD tarte. I will say some things about Open Standards and DFD and than they have the chance to say something, too. Afterwards we will eat the tarte.
*Cologne* Our Düsseldorf Group will check if they are able to also bring a tarte to the Deutschlandradio in Cologne.
*Vieanna* The Austrian team will discuss this issue, too. For now it is planned to also give a price to Radio Orange (or for insiders Radio Rausch).
*OGG month* We would also like to have the April dedicated to OGG Vorbis. We will encourage people to blog about Ogg Vorbis, give talks about OGG vorbis, speak with their friends about it, etc.
TODO:
- Proofread Peter's and Martin's German translation of http://www.fsf.org/resources/formats/playogg/en and send it to John Sullivan (FSF).
- Research the MP3 patent to get software patents into our press release (Werner volunteered for the patent part)
- Write a German Press release
- Order t-shirts from local suppliers
- Coordination with FFII (they are already informed and will cooperate with us).
- Coordination with German Linuxverband
- Cologne - Michael Stehmann, Rainer, Werner: Check if Fellowship group wants to do something here. If yes, get in contact with Matthias so he can organise it with the Dradio people.
- Vienna - Adept German Press release to highlight the Austrian part
= DFD Activity packages for other country teams =
*Can't read your document* poster. The idea here is that people write something on a poster, e.g. "I cannot read your documents". Than take a picture of them with the sign in front of a public institution and publish the picture.
- Materials:
- a photo camera
- DFD2010 artwork
- paper
- pen/painting accessories
- Timeline:
- 2 weeks before - do some research about public administrations in your city.
- 1 weeks before - prepare your poster
- few days before - take the picture
- 31 of March - publish the picture using the tag #dfd2010
*Promote open formats in public library* Libarians should be easy to convince about the usefulness of Open Standards. Have leaflets in the library or be there and inform visitor. E.g. use a old book and ask them if they would like to read this book in an electronic format, in 10 years.
- Materials:
- DFD artwork
- DFD leaflets
- Timeline:
- 2 weeks before - find a public library, talk with them about the topic and ask them if you can have leaflets there and talk with visitors
- 1 week before - print leaflets and find friends to help you
- 31 of March - use your creativity and inspiration to explain people why open document formats are important
*Change your email signature* Ask people to change their e-mail signature for DFD.
- Materials:
- text for your signature (TODO put Ideas on dfd website)
- Timeline:
- be sure that before 31 of march, you change your email signature
*Give a presentation* Give a presentation at a local Free Software user group about Open Standards.
- Materials:
- DFD leaflets
- a presentation about Open Standards (see Advocacy)
- DFD artwork
- Timeline:
- 3 weeks before - be sure you have a room/place for your presentation
- 2 weeks before - start promotion that you will give a presentation
- 31 of March - give your presentation (see some tips on Advocacy page)
