-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
This is Zak Rogoff, a campaigns manager at the Free Software Foundation. If you're getting this email, you've helped organize an event Day Against DRM in recent years. Thank you, and we'd love help you do it again! DaDRM 2014 is coming up on Tuesday, May 6th. For those that don't remember, International Day Against DRM is a time of year set aside for our community to come together and focus on helping build a world without Digital Restrictions Management. Here's the recap post from last year if you'd like to know more about the International Day Against DRM: <https://www.defectivebydesign.org/2013-day-against-drm> There will be more coming soon on the International Day Against DRM list (join at <http://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm/mailinglist>), including a call to action on the Day itself, sharable media and promotions on DRM-free ebooks. **For now we need your help to help make the day a success, by planning social events to help spread the word about DRM and give our community a place to come together.** We're hoping to have more events than ever this year, and make a big splash in the media. Here are some ideas for events (more to come later, and please reply to this email if you have any other good ones): * DRM-free music/movies/games party. Challenge yourself to make it so that none of the media at the event has DRM. If possible, host a concert by a band that releases DRM-free music. You can refer to our Guide to DRM-free living at <https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide> * Hold signs or hand out copies of DRM-free media and flyers about the issues with DRM (FOSS Bangladesh did this in 2013). You can refer to our DRM FAQ at <https://www.defectivebydesign.org/faq> * Host a house party/discussion group * Protest a local store that sells DRM-encumbered products (community members did this in Seattle in 2013) * Write a letter to the editor of a publication * Speak to a local group or get on a radio/TV show If you'd like to host an event in your area or online, please add it to the International Day Against DRM page on the LibrePlanet wiki at <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Defective_by_Design/Day_Against_DRM_2014> . The Defective by Design campaign would be glad to help you promote it to people around you (see instructions on the page), or you can keep it to just you and your friends if you prefer. **Don't forget to join the International Day Against DRM announcements list for updates: <http://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm/mailinglist>.** If you'd like to bounce ideas for events off someone, need help organizing an event or just want to talk about DRM, start a conversation on the DRM elimination crew discussion list at <https://lists.defectivebydesign.org/mailman/listinfo/drm-elimination-crew> . - -- Zak Rogoff Campaigns Manager Free Software Foundation GPG ID: B5090AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTUDCXAAoJEILejWS1CQrIKhUH/3g9ZqmoCgKmDj4GNHvPaXDn WZPI8hLRgEWQgBJG4KDFxSpdKtVsKluJJb4Nw8kOifrQ3Xbbqo5IdR4FMAoDrKu3 Ewdl9VtRR28+tnm96vv+iJfrrcA3TONr7u+lTDlZN69g6Ke33NnKVyXkEJW4YLZs Ps+MZmMe58Hgp5OdOyDOwJTMLdYHAL+Qc8pVcfgup3aJp5/p+aSfTRoiqxb+q6x1 lTrB02n4MqyC6FslNaTBREM2Q3Z+GYtPZ1Ue6O3WQ3ujfg6ZLEKRPGIWvzxT1hO9 M+BDjeKkiuhONw2n4ERgl9yo0F6btIZ78CgCPy0y7d3D+Nj+XLydvlrqhOCkNyw= =+smp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
