I take it they're not interested, although a reply from them would have been nice. No problem. I am starting to believe that we should postpone this until next year and do it right. If we wanted to, it would be possible to rush it through, but I am of the opinion that we simply would not get the results we are looking for, and it would be more beneficial to pick the idea up in December 2012 to organize a grandiose competition.

Calling it "more permissive" might lead to the conclusion that copyleft licenses are not giving you enough permissions while instead they just require you to pass on the freedoms that you received.

I do not want to give something to a winner, which forces him to use non-free software. You are right. What about putting his definition on the preface or the spine of a book about Free Sofware history and philosophy?

Ask celebraties for Document Freedom Day quotes
by Matthias Kirschner 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hi there, as you have seen we got a quote from Stephen Fry for Document Freedom Day. That's really cool! But we should we stop with that? Why shouldn't we be able to get more cool quotes. So who of you will be able to get another cool quote from a celebraty? Whoever is able to get Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "Your file 'll be back. So better make sure to use Open Standards!"? will be my personel hero for the next year!! So, if you have any ideas, please contact them, explain them briefly what Open Standards are and ask them for a quote. Believe me, it can be fun finding a hook to explain Open Standards to different people.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Follower, sorry but the following mail is in German only because it is about an event in Germany during the "I love Free Software" Day. Obviously this event might not be of interest for you if you are not living in Germany. But you are welcome ton join our online-campaign if you have a look at ilovefs.org +++ beginning of the message: +++ Liebe Fellows und Freunde, wie ihr wahrscheinlich wisst, ruft die Free Software Foundation Europe (http://www.fsfe.org) jährlich alle Unterstützer Freier Software dazu auf, den Valentinstag zu nutzen um seine Liebe für Freie Software auszudrücken und so gemeinsam einen "I love Free Software"-Day zu zelebrieren. Dazu gibt es wieder eine Mitmach-Kampagne, für die ihr Material und Ideen auf ilovefs.org findet. Dieses Jahr wird es außerdem erstmalig auch eine "I love Free Software"-Veranstaltung im Unperfekthaus geben (http://unperfekthaus.de), ein Künstlerdorf in der Innenstadt Essens. Im Unperfekthaus können Künstler, Gründer und Gruppen kostenlos Räume, Technik, Bühnen uvm. bekommen. Es gibt hier CoWorking Plätze und eine Ladengemeinschaft, außerdem steht das Haus Besuchern offen. Der Veranstaltungsort wurde ausgesucht, weil die offene Atmosphäre zum Feiern einlädt und das große Angebot an Erlebnismöglichkeiten viel Spaß für jedermann verspricht. Die Veranstaltung soll ein Vergnügen für die ganze Familie - von klein bis groß - ermöglichen. Gleichzeitig möchten wir - wie der Name es vermuten lässt - auch den Austausch und Input zu und über Freie Software fördern. Workshops und Einführungskurse werden deshalb auf dem Programm stehen, darunter Einführungskurse in GNU/Linux, Projektvorstellung von netzwerkbildung.net, Musikproduktion mit Linux, funktionierende QR-Codes selber sprayen usw. Abends gibt es ein Live-Konzert mit IntroVagant, KIT, /angstalt/ und fukked-up. Alle weiteren Informationen findet ihr auf der Veranstaltungsseite: http://fsfe.org/campaigns/ilovefs/2012/unperfekthaus.en.html Um zu der Veranstaltung vorzudringen, muss man den handelsüblichen Eintritt für das Unperfekthaus bezahlen. Dafür hat man aber auch vollen Zugang zu allen Annehmlichkeiten, die das Unperfekthaus sonst so bietet. Die FSFE plant mit dieser Veranstaltung möglichst viele Anwender, Entwickler und Unterstützer Freier Software zusammenzubringen. Fühlt euch alle ganz herzlich eingeladen und weist eure Umwelt auf diese Veranstaltung hin. Wem gar ein Thema vorschwebt, über das er sich austauschen möchte oder eine Software, die er auf der Veranstaltung vorstellen möchte, der kann sich noch bei fellowship(a)fsfeurope.org melden - jeder Input ist willkommen. Wir freuen uns natürlich auch sehr wenn ihr unsere Veranstaltung oder eure Teilnahme über Facebook, Twitter, Identi.ca oder sonstigen Social-Media-Kanälen ankündigt. Dabei gibt es auch etwas zu gewinnen: Die FSFE verlost zwei Schlafplätze vom 14. auf den 15. Februar im Unperfekthaus in einer 16er WG - zusammen mit den auftretenden Bands und den Veranstaltern der FSFE.

$YOURFREESOFTWARE.org supporting Document Freedom Day?
by Matthias Kirschner 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hi all, you are part of a Free Software group? Please a) become supporting organisation of Docuemnt Freedom Day b) make an activity for DFD and C) if you participate provide us a nice picture and quote, like we already got from Stephen Fry: "Open standards makes sense. What makes no sense is that large companies in the field still do not understand this. It is time once and for all to end the pointless nonsense of one document sent on one platform being incomprehensible to the user of another." Stephan Fry http://documentfreedom.org/testimonials.en.html Here more information on DFD (pass it along): Document Freedom Day (DFD) <http://documentfreedom.org> is a global day for document liberation. It is a worldwide event celebrating Open Standards and raising general awareness about the need for their adoption. DFD is actively redefining perceptions of Open Standards in media, public administration and educational institutions. Thanks to generous donations, in the last year we were able to: - Organise 42 events in 14 different countries around the world, ranging from Brazil and Mexico, to Greece and Portugal, - Coordinate an important talk at the European Parliament with multiple speakers, and - Raise the profile of pioneering users of Open Standards, such as German news website 'tagesschau.de', by awarding certificates and prizes in view of the press. The winner of the DFD 2011 Germany prize went to a popular news website which provides its 1.4m daily visitors with current affairs videos in the Free video format Ogg Theora. The award was presented in Berlin, resulting in coverage in 8 national and international media outlets. The city of Munich received the European prize, for the use of Open Standards in its LiMux project. In 2012 we will celebrate Document Freedom Day for the fourth time. We shall again organise more than 42 events, include countries that were previously not involved, and strenghten engagement with the public sector. To make these plans a reality, we need your support as a partner of Document Freedom Day 2012! Talk with your friends/regional groups, and think about activities and events that you could organise to promote Open Standards. We would be happy to help you with ideas, prize-giving, and finding sponsors. With your help we will be able to organise more events in 2012, and together we can raise awareness for Open Standards around the world. At the moment we are coordinating our activities with international partners and sponsors. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more detailed information about partnership opportunities for Document Freedom Day 2012. Please let us know until 6. February if you want to organise your own activity or event, and/or if you want to be listed on our supporter page as a supporting organisation.

Unfortunately we're so used to other "modest proposals" enacted as law even if they are obviously bad jokes, that one gets in the habit of too literal reading...
