by Matthias Kirschner 27 Feb '12

Dear Mr Desai, we are very happy, that you want to support our PDFreaders campaign in India. This is an international problem, so we all have to work together to solve it. * office(a)fsfeurope.org <office(a)fsfeurope.org> [2012-01-21 04:25:23 +0100]: > I, Vitesh Desai concerned citizen of the Republic of India, write this > letter with concerened about the Proprietary pdf readers showcasing on > the public sites. > > I want to start the petition it directs govt. of my country to remove > particular reader & stop endorsing the Proprietary & start to endorse > the full free readers (pdfreaders.org) , in this matter i need ur kind > help so what can i do to start the petition. There are several action you can take in order to remove the advertisement, first please read http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/guideline.html. 1. Ask people to sign our petition on http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/petition.html (Maybe translate the petition text before you do so. To do translations, just click on "Source code" at the button of the page, download the file, open it with a text editor, translate everything outside the html code <>, and send the file back to us.) 2. When you see a public website, you can adopt our model letter http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/letter.html (best also translate it) and depending on how your public authorities work either send it as a real letter or by e-mail (in Europe we used letters in most cases, expect in countries where public bodies are obliged to reply to e-mails). 3. If you have a group of people, we encourage you to do a "bug hunt" meeting. See http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfsprint.html for this. 4. Follow up on your reports, see <http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/follow-up.en.html>. Please keep us informed about all steps. We are happy to help you and to make it happen, that you can remove non-free software advertisement from Indian public websites.

Open Journal Systems will stop advertisement for Adobe (maybe)
by Hugo Roy 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hello, I noticed that on the international free software law review, where we use the Open Journal Systems, there was some link to Acrobat. So I asked how to change it and suggested pdfreaders.org You can see the bugzilla ticket here http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6746 In the future, I hope that everyone using this software will update and stop making advertisement for Acrobat.

Hi Richard, I am taking our pdfreaders list back into CC, I hope thats ok (list is not public).

I am told that evince has advanced a lot. Well from my understanding its all about poppler, the library behind evince, okular, xpdf et cetera. And from what I remember when talking with some of the devs is that it might never reach compliance with ISO 32000 (PDF 1.7). I am not sure whether poppler supports any of the older versions completely, and since they are not very common, I would rather advertise 90% compliance with PDF 1.7 than 99% compliance with PDF 1.2. > In fact, I think we could remove the part about > "You might want to promote the versions" completely and move information > about that to the page that has the technical details about the > different versions. > > I think that is a good idea. > > Which leads to another idea.

Thats what we are doing as part of the campaign site at fsfe.org: http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfreaders.en.html Also we have the banners for our site at: http://pdfreaders.org/graphics.de.html We did this seperation, because we wanted pdfreaders.org itself to be less of a campaign site and more static. > 3. A page that talks about what PDF versions you should use in making > documents.This is addressed to people making PDF files. This is what we have at our "Open Standards" page on pdfreaders.org, but it could be improved with the more details and the information we talked about previously (which parts are actually supported to what degree). > They need to be different because they are addressed to different > audiences.

Especially for 1. we have some major mid-term overhaul ideas, but maybe we should focus on doing the little changes now, so that you can integrate pdfreaders.org into your campaign. > With all the time that has gone by since I looked at the site, I don't > remember which of these pages you already have, or which of these > goals was the goal of the page we are now discussing. Please forgive > my bad memory. No problem, just have a look at the pages that I referenced above, and tell me what you think needs working on. I will try to setup a wiki page in the fsfe wiki with the changes we agree(d) upon, so that we can start implementing them soon. -- ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ Best Regards, │ Free Software Foundation Europe █▉ │ Hannes Hauswedell │ German Team █▉█▉█▉ │ │ Coordinator for pdfreaders.org ▉▉ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘
