Hi, everyone, You might have seen this already, but we're looking for community participation[1] on a new guide of ours called the "freedom ladder," which we hope will allow people unfamiliar with free software to take their first steps into the movement.
One extremely important problem with general GNU/Linux "guides" is that they end up encouraging the user to rest content with a computer running at least some amount of nonfree software, if they even bother to talk about software freedom at all. By contrast, we want ours to acknowledge that it isn't necessary to go from a fully proprietary computing setup to a fully free one in the span of a single day, *while at the same time* encourage them in a way that keeps the fully free "finish line" constantly in mind. Every little bit helps, and it's important to keep in mind that every refusal[2] to use a proprietary program is a step in the right direction. We'd love your help on this, so over the course of the next month we'll be hosting some IRC sessions[3] about each of the steps that we've drafted. Hoping to hear from you and to see you there. -g [1]: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/the-journey-begins-with-a-single-step-climb-the-freedom-ladder [2]: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/saying-no-even-once.html [3]: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Freedom_Ladder -- Greg Farough // Campaigns Manager Free Software Foundation Join the FSF and help us defend software freedom: https://my.fsf.org
