Fripost has marketed FSFE and sharing both stickers and leaflets at many
occasions, now latest at FSCONS 2017 where Fripost had a booth. Other
outreach activities where FSFE marketing materials have been present and
shared by us have been at our Document Freedom day and Free software day
activities, including also other local activities. We of course do this
with our own funds. Just for your info.
