Yesterday I was informed that now the office of the Green Party in Germany asked all their candidates for the European Election to sign the Free Software Pact http://freesoftwarepact.eu/.
I therefor updated: https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/freesoftwarepact-eu-candidates
Please help us to contact more candidates. From the newsletter:
Get active: Make the Free Software Pact a success!
As we wrote in March [1] candidates pledging for Free Software is a good way to take them at their word after an election. In Future we can contact them whenever there will be EU legislation to be passed that might endanger the existence or growth of Free Software.
After FSFE's volunteers did a lot of translations for the pact, April now published all necessary information on the Free Software pact website so you can get active.
In Italy our new intern Michele Marrali already contacted 51 candidates. He searched for the candidates, used ">Erik's template [2] available in German [3] to contact them, and afterwards noted on ">our pad whom he already contacted [4]. His goal is to contact every Italian candidate and get them to sign the pact. So how many can you contact?
In case you do not have time to participate in this "hobby lobby competition", consider to make a donation [5] so we can offer the most active volunteers some rewards from our shop [6].
Best Regards, Matthias
