Hello everyone I published an article about this on libreboot.org:
https://libreboot.org/news/usa-libre.html There is a proposed bill going on in New Hampshire that will, if passed, require state agencies to more or less use free software exclusively, when they can, and facilitate its use by members of the public. If passed, I think many other states will pass similar legislation in the US, and other countries outside the US may also follow. It could have a huge positive effect on the Free Software movement as a whole. The reading of the bill is taking place on 11 January 2022 in Concord, New Hampshire. It is extremely important for everyone to show up, if they live near New Hampshire! The bill is proposed by @cooljeanius (Eric Gallager) on Twitter, and the direct link to the bill is this: https://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/billText.aspx?sy=2022&id=1363&txtFormat=html Eric has instructions on his Twitter, for how to attend the reading and take part, and my article on libreboot.org links to Eric's instructions. It's critical that as many pro-freedom activists show up as humanly possible, because our *enemies* (such as Microsoft) will likely be there aswell, but they would be opposing it. If passed, this legislation could result in *schools* standardizing on Free Software. It could be a total revolution that puts Free Software into more people's hands. I think the FSF should write a post about it, and promote it heavily. I'd go myself, but I'm in the UK. I urge anyone who can attend, to please attend! -- Live free!
