Yesterday I was informed that now the office of the Green Party in
Germany asked all their candidates for the European Election to sign the
Free Software Pact <http://freesoftwarepact.eu/>.

I therefor updated: https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/freesoftwarepact-eu-candidates

Please help us to contact more candidates. From the newsletter: 

  Get active: Make the Free Software Pact a success!
  
  As we wrote in March [1] candidates pledging for Free Software is a
  good way to take them at their word after an election. In Future we
  can contact them whenever there will be EU legislation to be passed
  that might endanger the existence or growth of Free Software.
  
  After FSFE's volunteers did a lot of translations for the pact, April
  now published all necessary information on the Free Software pact
  website so you can get active.
  
  In Italy our new intern Michele Marrali already contacted 51
  candidates. He searched for the candidates, used ">Erik's template [2]
  available in German [3] to contact them, and afterwards noted on ">our
  pad whom he already contacted [4]. His goal is to contact every
  Italian candidate and get them to sign the pact. So how many can you
  contact?
  
  In case you do not have time to participate in this "hobby lobby
  competition", consider to make a donation [5] so we can offer the most
  active volunteers some rewards from our shop [6]. 

Best Regards,
Matthias
