New ways to contribute to the FREE e-democracy project

[Jason Kitcat]

Hi all,

the release of GNU.FREE (http://www.gnu.org/software/free/) 1.6 
approaches however in the mean time several new developments mean 
that there are some great ways for technical and non-technical to 
take part in an important Free Software project.

+ TEST TEAM
If you're relatively confident on a certain platform then please 
download the latest release candidate, test it to bits and then file 
a report to us. This is vital in improving the quality of GNU.FREE 
releases.

+ INTERNATIONALISATION TEAM
GNU.FREE 1.6 will offer internationalisation of the client software. 
Adding a new language it is just a matter of translating a short text 
file - you don't need any technical knowledge. So please use your 
linguistic skills for 10-15 minutes and provide Internet Voting for 
another part of the global community.

+ CASE STUDIES
In our efforts to covince government that using Free Software is a 
good thing it has become apparent that good case studies our needed 
to support our arguments. So please submit case studies of successful 
uses of Free Software in for-profit, non-profit or governmental 
organisations. We'd also appreciate volunteers to help edit and 
collate these case studies. It shouldn't be too time consuming and is 
a great way for non-programmers to take part.

Please think long and hard to see if you can contribute some time - 
Free Software only works if people are generous with their skills and 
time.

Thank you for your attention.

All the best,
Jason
