Subject: [FSF] Spread the free software philosophy by joining the new FSF Community Team<br>To: <a href="mailto:info-member@gnu.org">info-member@gnu.org</a><br><br><br><div class="im">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
The FSF is putting together a group of volunteer supporters to spread<br>
the free software philosophy in blogs, online press, and through<br>
social networking sites.<br>

If you spend some time each day reading popular blogs or mainstream<br>
press and you have a good handle on the debate around software<br>
freedom, this could be a great opportunity. As part of the FSF<br>
Community team, you'll be doing things like:<br>
<br>
* Responding to questions and correcting misconceptions about free<br>
software in online media.<br>
<br>
* Working with the FSF campaigns team to respond to big news stories<br>
that impact software freedom, or stories that are chances for people<br>
to understand why free software matters.<br>
<br>
* Making sure that important stories, about topics like fully free<br>
GNU/Linux distributions, DRM, or the dangers of "cloud computing," get<br>
as much attention as possible in the media and the widest possible<br>
reach through social networking sites.<br>
<br>
Just to be clear, the goal here is not to get into long, drawn out<br>
flame-wars :). Rather, this will be an organized and respectful<br>
</div>approach to raising awareness of free software's importance. As an FSF<br>
member, you're already very familiar with the principles of free<br>
software. This is a great chance to put that knowledge to use.<br>
