Hello, There have been lots of links thrown into the mailing list regarding issues which we have to contribute and support but we have not been very effective in doing that. I realized that this might not be because people are not interested but probably because people don't know the right strategy to do this.
I would like to share with you a few pointers on how to effectively promote Free Software Activism indirectly over the internet. This is in addition to getting directly involved in Free Software events and activities Attitude - Build an attitude of inquisitiveness and collect facts and information related to the topic - Be bold and state your opinion in online forums and discuss - Take initiative to spread the word - Build a strong online profile for yourself and make your voice be heard. Tools - Participate in Online Communities, Mailing Lists - Use Social Networking Sites for your cause - Effectively use Social Bookmarking and help the items get public attention - Blog about the event, activity, activism - Mail your friends about the item posted in the blog and ask them to link to you - Link to other blogs and sites where the topic is being discussed You can read in detail at <http://www.thondomraughts.com/2009/01/how-to-promote-activism-over-internet.html> Cheers Anoop John -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.zyxware.com http://www.anoopjohn.com http://www.thondomraughts.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Be the change you wish to see in the world", M.
