Do you like football? Well you do not have to, to participate at the EURO 2012. Guido Arnold announced a parallel tournament for the European football championship 2012. The criteria: Free Software usage in the public administration. The rules are relatively simple, you can read them in Guido's blog [1].
Tomorrow evening there will be 22 matches [2]. Enough time for you to influence the them.
Either you create a wiki account [3] and add information about Free Software usage in the public administration to the overview page [4], or you write a short message with the hashtag #euro4fs to Guido (in CC). One possible source is OSOR's news archive [5].
As it is common in football since some time to bribe the referee, this is also possible: Just transfer the money to FSFE's bank account (other payment methods [6])
Free Software Foundation Europe e.V. IBAN: DE69 3602 0030 0003 0047 32 National-Bank Essen, Steinstraße 13, 40212 Dusseldorf, Germany SWIFT/BIC: NBAG DE3E
with the subject "donation for Free Software European championship [Country name]" and announce your bribery via microblog with the above mentioned hashtag ;)
Regards, Matthias
