We've occasionally seen posts from DFEY – Digital Freedom in Education and Youth - on fsfe-uk and I think the last one mentioned something about a Google event.
The H Open reports that the Free Software Foundation are applying Google Highly Open Participation Content to the GNU Generation community, aimed at people between the ages of 13 and 18. http://www.h-online.com/open/FSF-launch-GNU-Generation--/news/113992 The comments there criticise the logo, but not for the reason I would. I thought it just looked a bit childish for 13-18. Am I out of touch? Anyway, my main questions: How will DFEY interact with this, if at all? Some of you may know that I'm not a fan of Google, its no-download services and business methods. It wouldn't be the first time that no-download web service software was used to develop the GNU project, after all - see wiki.list.org. Should we be worried by this apparent Googlisation of a new FSF project, though? In general, does Google get an easy ride from FSF contributors?
