Hi Sam,
How admirable you were to come to lead the FSFE meeting last Thursday evening after the fatal accident. Hope you get well soon.
I'd be happy to help with the following two tasks (perhaps on this year's Document Freedom Day). Will also print and disseminate the DFD posters around. * * *- Somebody to ask Devon to add an explanation to their link to pdfreaders about what a Free Software PDF reader is - Somebody to file lots of freedom of information requests to ask councils what information do they have about their PDF advice, how does this comply with national law, and what steps have they taken to consider free software alternatives as recommendations to the public*
Best wishes, Yuwei

look where there are gaps ad try and fill them with classes etc.

PS Thank you so much to everybody for signing my card, and the bag of goodies. I was utterly surprised, a little overwhelmed, and very, very grateful.
