I, Vitesh Desai concerned citizen of the Republic of India, write this letter with concerened about the Proprietary pdf readers showcasing on the public sites.
I want to start the petition it directs govt. of my country to remove particular reader & stop endorsing the Proprietary & start to endorse the full free readers (pdfreaders.org) , in this matter i need ur kind help so what can i do to start the petition.
There are several action you can take in order to remove the advertisement, first please read http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/guideline.html.
- Ask people to sign our petition on
http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/petition.html (Maybe translate the petition text before you do so. To do translations, just click on "Source code" at the button of the page, download the file, open it with a text editor, translate everything outside the html code <>, and send the file back to us.)
- When you see a public website, you can adopt our model letter
http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/letter.html (best also translate it) and depending on how your public authorities work either send it as a real letter or by e-mail (in Europe we used letters in most cases, expect in countries where public bodies are obliged to reply to e-mails).
- If you have a group of people, we encourage you to do a "bug hunt"
meeting. See http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfsprint.html for this.
- Follow up on your reports, see
http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/follow-up.en.html.
Please keep us informed about all steps. We are happy to help you and to make it happen, that you can remove non-free software advertisement from Indian public websites.
Best Regards, Matthias Kirschner
