Hello,<br>
<br>
This is Fred from April in France. I was happy to see you at the
Techinc<br>
hackerspace last month. You have a really nice place for hackers. I
am<br>
looking forwarg to going there again :)<br>
<br>
I am contacting you because I am looking for Free Software activists
in<br>
Europe for an April campaign. Maybe you could give me useful
contacts. I<br>
have also contacted Jaromil.<br>
<br>
In 2009, we launched the Free Software Pact initiative for the
European<br>
elections.<br>
<br>
And We are going to launch a similar campaign for the 2014 European<br>
elections. Maybe you may know some Free Software activists who could
be<br>
interesting in participating in the Netherlands.<br>
<br>
Here is more information about the Free Software Pact.<br>
<br>
The web site is <a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.freesoftwarepact.eu/" target="_blank">http://www.freesoftwarepact.eu/</a> (not modified since<br>
2009).<br>
<br>
How it works basically :<br>
<br>
- - There is a Free Software (that was first time written in 2007
for<br>
French legislatives elections) which is signed by candidates to
the<br>
European elections :<br>
<br>
<a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.freesoftwarepact.eu/public/Free-Software-Pact_EN.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.freesoftwarepact.eu/public/Free-Software-Pact_EN.pdf</a><br>
<br>
The Free Software Pact is a simple document with which candidates<br>
can inform the voting public that they favor the development and
use<br>
of Free Software, and will protect it from possible threatening EU<br>
legislation.<br>
<br>
The Free Software Pact is also a tool for citizens who value Free<br>
Software to educate candidates about the importance of Free
Software<br>
and why they should, if elected, protect the European Free
Software<br>
community.<br>
<br>
- - The campaign invites citizens to ask candidates to sign the Free<br>
Software Pact.<br>
<br>
- - the list of candidate who signed the pact is published on the
website<br>
for everyone to see. Voters can then check who signed the pact and<br>
who hasn't.<br>
<br>
- - We set up also a tool named GPT (Grassroot Platform Technology)<br>
which is a web program that helps coordinating a grassroot
volunteer<br>
campaign based on the act of contacting political candidates
before<br>
an election. Its aim is to act as a contact directory and to
gather<br>
all information regarding the work of a decentralized volunteer<br>
campaign (who is in charge of which candidate or constituency,<br>
etc.). GPT also helps maintaining a numbering of candidates<br>
supports. This tool was developped by April.<br>
<br>
We launched similar campaigns for every national and local elections<br>
in France since 2007.<br>
<br>
In 2009, we launched the Free Software Pact initiave for the
European<br>
elections. We had around 100 signatories, 37 of whom got elected.
For a<br>
first time, that was quite interesting.<br>
<br>
