[Tdwyt] Campaign Timeframe
by Chris Hayes 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Hi Sam, In another thread I'd asked when this campaign was likely to be 'going live'; it was suggested that you're the person to ask about this. Likewise, do you have a breakdown of any key dates/milestones that you'll need certain things done by? From what I can see, this project is quite young, so things might not have gotten that far yet. Kind regards, Chris

Awesome! Pending two queries, I'm happy to print this version: 1. Can we use the Compacta font legally? 2. Do you think people will understand that theydontwantyou.to is a URL if we disclude www. ? The .to TLD name is not well known, after all Very cool to see this design evolve.

Which postcard designs are we most interested to use, and would anyone like any help designing / starting / finishing these? I realise that our deadline of the 30th is rapidly approaching. . Chris

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 :) - -- Sam Tuke Campaign Manager Free Software Foundation Europe IM : samtuke(a)jabber.fsfe.org Latest UK Free Software news: uk.fsfe.org Is freedom important to you?

[Tdwyt] Compacta font license
by Sam Tuke 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 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. - -- Sam Tuke Campaign Manager Free Software Foundation Europe IM : samtuke(a)jabber.fsfe.org Latest UK Free Software news: uk.fsfe.org Is freedom important to you?

[Tdwyt] TDWYT now on Flattr
by Sam Tuke 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

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. -- Sam Tuke Campaign Manager Free Software Foundation Europe IM : samtuke(a)jabber.fsfe.org Latest UK Free Software news: uk.fsfe.org Is freedom important to you?

[Tdwyt] New Pelican site repo on Gitorious
by Sam Tuke 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 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.

[Tdwyt] Javascript on TDWYT site
by Sam Tuke 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 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 - -- Sam Tuke Campaign Manager Free Software Foundation Europe IM : samtuke(a)jabber.fsfe.org Latest UK Free Software news: uk.fsfe.org Is freedom important to you?

[Tdwyt] "Freedom not included" sticker drafts
by Sam Tuke 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

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. -- Sam Tuke Campaign Manager Free Software Foundation Europe IM : samtuke(a)jabber.fsfe.org Latest UK Free Software news: uk.fsfe.org Is freedom important to you?
