Hi, everyone, As you know, we have been working on making sure everyone understands the value of using free software to communicate with their friends and loved ones. Now that the vast majority of us are both working and socializing remotely, it is now more important than ever that people migrate to solutions that respect their freedom. We've already described a few in a recent article[1], and are planning to draw more attention to this subject in the near future.
Recently, we were contacted by a free software community member who shared the inspiring story[2] of setting up a Jitsi server for a local school. It got us thinking and writing an article on the power of individual initiatives like this one, which is why we're reaching out to you. Have you brought your family, friends, or workplace online by using free software? Have you helped schools getting started using free software like our Spanish community member? Are you 3D-printing or collaborating in some other way with people working in the medical relief effort? No matter what contribution you might have made recently, we're interested in hearing about it. I'm sure it will provide us all with hope and motivation in a difficult time. Let's get the conversation started here, and compare notes on the successes (and good efforts!) we've made at bringing freedom to all. Best, -Greg [1]: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/better-than-zoom-try-these-free-software-tools-for-staying-in-touch [2]: https://www.socmusab.es/noticias/escuela-de-musica-clases-on-line-mas-justas-y-seguras/ (Spanish) -- Greg Farough // Campaigns Manager Free Software Foundation Join the FSF and help us defend software freedom: https://my.fsf.org
