Hi !
The start of the bug hunt for PDFreaders is now 6 days ahead. I'm copying in this may the proposals of mails for :
- - the country team coordinators - - the fellows - - the group coordinators (those who have registered to lead a hunter group)
Please tell me if you want something to be changed in it.
- - the country team coordinators
Good morning !
By the end of August,The FSFE is about to restart a campaign called "PDFreaders.org" to sensibilize the public to the fact that government websites are advertising for proprietary software and to let people know about the alternatives to these PDFreaders.
The general idea is to organize a _two-waves-event_: the first part consisting in a contest, where Fellows, Fellowship groups country-team, and any volunteer we could enroll, would track governmental website where when clicking on a PDF, you get an advertising for downloading Adobe to read it. Then they would send us the URL of these websites. The participants can do the research alone or as a group, and the FSFE would reward the most active ones with a price.
We would collect the URL of these websites and then contact the authorities concerned and parallel to this, we would have a petition signed.
Please, let us know if as a coordinator you will help us spread the word about the PDFreaders campaign to your country team and be the intermediary between us and the participants in your country (and maybe the translators...), or if a hunter group is being organized in your country.
Thank you very much for answering before the 13th september (date when the contest will start) by sending a mail at pdfreaders@lists.fsfe.org
Best regards

*It's time for you to act* !
The FSFE is relaunching the campaign "pdfreaders" to sensibilize the public to the fact that government websites are advertising for proprietary software each time that they redirect you to a downloading interface for a non-free PDFreader while you have to read a PDF file.
You'll find on the FSFE website [1] some screenshots to highlight want we want fo be removed from the institutional website, in order to reach advertising-free institutional websites.. - From the 13th of September to the 17th October we'll proceed to a *bug hunt*. What we expect from you is to search for such advertising on the governmental websites and to notify them to us thanks to the formular [1]. You can participate to the hunt as an individual participant or as a member of a group. In the case of a group, please elect a group coordinator and register your group in sending a mail to pdfreaders@lists.fsfe.org
The ones would will notify us the most websites will win a special price at the end of October.
We look forward to see our list of websites grow quickly and can't wait to be at the end of October to discover the winner groups and the winners of the individual participants !
Thank you for contributing to the FSFE's work on this campaign
