hi,
it would indeed be interesting to do a quick, friendly PR here. This week, if possible.
Something like (quick and dirty draft):
South Tyrol moves to improve user's software freedom
In response to FSFE's pdfreaders campaign, the Italian region of South Tyrol is now pointing visitors to its website to Free Software PDF readers.
The change was announced by [FIXME: title] the region's head of IT, Kurt Pöhl, during the SFScon conference which took place last week in Bolzano, the region's capital.

Done :-)
Best regards, Karsten

Hi team!
I just wanted you to know, that thanks to the discussions we started with the South Tyrolean government, after the open letters by LUGBZ and FSFE, the LUGBZ has proposed some first actions and the government has adopted the use of the PDFReaders banner on the gov sites:
http://www.provinz.bz.it/lpa/themen/publikationen.asp
I think this is a first step and should be in some way used as a good practice on how the government opens a constructive discussion with the Free Software community.
Would be nice to push a little bit on the press. Could be helpful as support for the development in South Tyrol and on the other hand I guess could been seen as an example to follow by other governments.
What do you think about it?
Happy hacking! Patrick
