Hi, everyone, 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. We're currently requesting folks on our own discussion lists to write to <[email protected]> with any successes they've had in getting their friends, family, or organizations to switch to free software during the quarantine. While successes setting up remote conferencing applications like Jitsi Meet are probably the most pertinent, we're also interested in hearing about the "smaller" steps people have made recently as well, like a company's choosing to switch to LibreOffice instead of a cloud application. Reading liberationtech is definitely a highlight of my day, as some great stories come through, so we wanted to make sure we reached to you all as well. Please write in if you have something to share, or let's get a conversation going here! 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
