Hello LibrePlanet Community, I'm Valessio, a free software activist since 2000 and the current campaigns team intern at the Free Software Foundation (FSF). Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to participate in an FSF internship with the [technical team][1], developing my skills and learning a lot of cool things about libreboot and about using free software for education, through using [MusicBlocks][2]. After my internship was completed, I continued to collaborate actively with FSF. One of these collaborations was on the development of the new Respects Your Freedom (RYF) hardware product certificate Web site, which will launch soon.

I also made this year's [LibrePlanet conference logo][6]. I hope you like it! [4] https://libreplanet.org [5] https://libreplanet.org/2020 [6] https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/libreplanet/2020/assets/logo.svg This email is intended to start a discussion and get people excited about making improvements to the way we use MediaWiki for LibrePlanet. I have a lot of ideas, and I can't do everything myself. I would like to invite you to participate, or to forward this email to someone who wants to start (or continue) collaborating with the free software movement. I have drafted a new theme for the first phase of my work on LibrePlanet.org, and it is now [available here][7] for comments, critiques, and suggestions. [7] https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Libreplanet-theme-mediawiki After changing the layout, ideally, the Web site pages will be restructured to make navigation more intuitive for documenting and leveraging future collaborations. In this process, we will also filter out outdated pages. This is where I will need your help! We want to create a lasting structure, and for LibrePlanet to be a success, we need to be sure that the new structure is right. I made a proposal to [reorganize the LibrePlanet pages][8] for you to comment on as well. [8] https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Libreplanet-nav You are welcome to collaborate to help us create an excellent resource for free software activists all over this (Libre)Planet. Let me know if you want to join in the project! I look forward to working with you, and hope I will see you at the conference! Cheers, Valessio Brito Campaigns team intern _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
