Yes. Give show the people free software, and praise it's virtues, but give
them a system to run it on that works as well as or better than the non free
devices and software they're currently using.
In our rapidly building surveillance society where more liberty is eroded
daily, I can see the FSF missing a real opportunity if it doesn't do
something. My nightmare is that when RMS finally passes away, so will the
FSF. Who is the new charismatic front man in waiting? Who is going to carry
the torch?
They're doing an amazing job, but they need to do something heavy in order to
really get your next door neighbout not only using it, but get
this....wanting it!!
How can I get my neighbour to try free software when I show him my laptop and
it seems beset with issues that make him think something is wrong with it...
I'm OK with that, I can work around it with help from the community, but he
doesn't even know the community, or free software exists.
I'll do my best.
SAM.
