I just made the refactored TDWYT website live. It looks mostly the same, but
uses a completely different build system, and has some important improvements
like Flattr, and non-Javascript-dependent buttons.
Thanks to Daniel for his work on the site before he left, and for the
performance optimisations he made to the webserver and site config!
To make code or translation changes to the site, clone the git repository,
commit your changes, and open a merge request on Gitorious [1] so I can merge
them. Nice and streamlined :)
Sam.

Yes I like this idea a lot too. You could simply take an old commercial, maybe
an over-the-top one from the 80s or 90s, and replace the caption with
something critical and humorous.
The only trouble I see with this idea is that its probably easier and cheaper
to print large numbers of a small number of cards, maybe only 1 design. If we
use only one, then using a specific commercial for a printer or similar might
not be the best and most widely appealing approach. It depends on the design I
suppose.
The adulterated commercials would work well in other mediums though, and if
they were quick enough to prepare, we could prepare a series of them for
distribution via social media networks. I like the idea of one each week for a
month or more.
What do you think Chris? Care to do some drafts?
Sam.
PS Please provide sources for any artwork :)

Hi folks,
just sending a quick e-mail to let you all know that I've been completely
tied up with work for the last few weeks, but that should over soon and
I'll be contributing again early this week.
Kind regards,
Chris

Hi Cyberella,
I love your compacta font, and would like to use it for some stickers as part
of a campaign for restriction-free technology.
I want to be sure of the font license before we use your awesome work however
- - I know your site footer says that fonts are free to use, but do you use a
particular license?
I only like using fonts that other people can use too, and I'm not sure if the
sentence about being free of charge is an informal thing, or whether it's
meant to offer real legal rights for the fonts use.
We'd really appreciate it if you could clarify :)
Sam.

I added TDWYT to the Flattr catalogue. Donations will go into the FSFE account.
https://flattr.com/thing/1829406
I've also migrated the TDWYT website from Webgen (ruby, unmaintained) to Pelican
(Python). It's not quite finished, but you can see where I've added a flattr
button in the site footer in the screenshot attached.
At the inception of the campaign last year, Matthias and I discussed using
Flattr, and concluded we shouldn't. I've reconsidered this however, as it's
possible to add it discreetly as I have done, because campaign costs are adding
up, and because we're now anticipating a broader audience than we originally
intended (the postcards will be in generic locations, not just universities). I
wanted to change the button colours to be less harsh, but this is a pain to do
as it's iframe based and therefore ignores normal CSS rules.
Views, feedback, questions etc. welcome as ever :)
Sam.

I've added the migrated TDWYT website files to a new gitorious repo. You still
can't see the generated pages online, but now you can get the source files and
build the site yourself if you like (I'm looking at you Daniel ;) ).
Repo: https://gitorious.org/tdwyt/website-pelican
To build using Pelican:
yum install python-pip
OR
apt-get install python-pip
pip install markdown
pip install pelican
Then, clone the git repo:
git clone https://git.gitorious.org/tdwyt/website-pelican.git
cd into your new directory, then:
make html
You should now have an updated copy of the theydontwantyou.to site in your
'output' folder.
I'll also add these instructions to gitorious.
Best,
Sam.

The website requires JavaScript to be enabled for the custom fonts, and the
all important "disobey" button to work. Because I don't want to discourage
people who block JS unnecessarily [1], I added a message for such users
advising them of what won't work. This is on the new Pelican-based site (see
previous mail), and will be public on the main site domain one day soon.
That's the best solution I've got for now, but it's a small usability
improvement for the security-conscious.
Best,
Sam.
1. I block it myself sometimes, and it was only via a JS exploit that the FBI
managed to compromise TOR recently

See attached (gallery.png).
The idea is that we print these in large numbers, distrubite them with other
campaign materials to universities etc., and encourage people to label
restrictive products with them. This included blu-ray movies, flat screen tvs,
proprietary software, camcorders with proprietary codecs, etc., etc,.
Its important that they aren't too obvious, in my view, so that people can at
least manage to sticker plenty of products before being detected. Ideally the
stickers would be noticed by shoppers, but not by shop staff, and so remain on
display for many days.
Thoughts? Both files should be in the tdwyt git repo shortly.
Designers@: This relates to our They Dont Want You To campaign
(http://theydontwantyou.to). This is aimed at students and should be launched
later this year.
Best,
Sam.

Hi all,
Erik, Matthias, Lucile and I had a meeting today and agreed some deadlines for
TDWYT. You can see them on TaskFreak here (account required, registration is
open): http://campaigns.fsfe.org/taskfreak/index.php?sProject=4
We're now thinking of a November 4th launch. For launch we will have existing
stickers, new "freedom not included" stickers", new postcards, and social
media adverts / postcards ready and sent to distributors (e.g. partner
organisations and universities). The reason for waiting until November is that
Erik and I will be away for a week in the middle of October for FSFE's annual
meeting (GA), and it'll be bad for social media management etc. if we're out
of commission shortly after launch.
Infographics, illustrative cartoons, and DVD cases need not be included in the
launch. If we have time and budget we will prepare one or more of those
projects too. If not we can organise those later for a boost to the campaign
once it's started, or alternatively do them next year after learning from the
campaign launch.
All designs requiring printing for launch need to be ready by August 30th. You
can see the other deadlines associated with their tasks on TaskFreak.
Any questions, please ask! Also you can add notes to the tasks on TaskFreak as
necessary.
Best,
Sam.

Hi, here is a write up of my idea for a video component to the tdwyt
campaign.
https://pad.fsfe.org/p/tdwyt_campaign_ideas
its quite wacky but I have put a lot of work into it and a lot of
thought and I think it could be amazing if we pulled it off.
I would like to get some test videos done soon, but am waiting for a few
technical issues to be solved.
Best
Anna
