Hi!
I worriedly watch the slowing down of the accumulation of the signatures of the
Public Money Public Code open letter. I think this is a great campaign that
should reach as much people as possible and the slowing down bellow 15k
signatures sort of suggest that its spreading started fading way too soon.
Maybe we (FSFE volunteers, supporters, and members) should give the campaign an
extra push. I'm pretty certain that the vast majority of people haven't even
heard about the campaign yet.
Some ideas:
- Can't we know and get some celebrities of relatively famous guys sympathizing
with Free Software who may openly support the camping and attract others to
join as supporters? I don't know Stephen Fry is very famous and I have seen him
advertising Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre on youtube, Bryan Lunduke also have some
fame and a regular youtube program on Free Software related stuff, and probably
there are plenty of people who may worth a shot to ask...
- I also think it would be worth bringing the campaign to the streets. A couple
of volunteers could bring campaign stickers or flyers
(https://git.fsfe.org/gergely/PMPC_QR-code_flyers) and distribute them to the
passers-by. (If you are [or know] someone in Budapest who would happily join me
doing that please contact me. Unfortunately, I would feel embarrassed to do
this alone... :-/)
- I think putting posters to bulletin boards in universities would also be
great. Lack of official posters link
https://git.fsfe.org/gergely/PMPC_QR-code_flyers here too. I totally plan to do
this with the linked QR-code flyers even alone but if you are in Budapest and
happy to join please contact me as this is also more fun to do in pairs or in
groups.
- I think the campaign should also be boosted on online platforms (forums,
blogs, social media, etc). I'm only on diaspora* there I think I did my part
(maybe on diaspora* most of the active users are already reached)...
- I don't know if opening and keeping alive threads about the campaign on 4chan
/g/ is a good idea or not? but I can help in that... Also if you can recommend
online platforms where I can help engaging in discussion about the campaign I'm
happy to do so.
All in all: Keep spreading the message are way too many people to be reached!!!
What do you think?
Best,
Gergely
