In this talk, I will explain how the "Public Money? Public Code!" campaign framework can be used to push for the adoption of free software-friendly policies in your area.
+Do you want to promote Free Software in public administrations? Then the +campaign framework of "Public Money? Public Code!" might be the right +choice for you; no matter if you want to do it as an individual or as a + group; no matter if you have a small or large time budget.
+ +More than 200 organisations, and more than 30,000 individuals demand +that publicly financed software should be made publicly available under +Free Software licenses. Together we contacted politicians and civil +servants on all levels -- from the European Union and national +governments, to city mayors and the heads of public libraries about this +demand. This did not just lead to important discussions about software +freedom with decision makers, but also already to specific policy + changes.
+ +In this talk, I will explain how the "Public Money? Public Code!" + campaign framework, including the website publiccode.eu, the videos, the +open letter, the expert brochure,and example letters, can be used to +push for the adoption of free software-friendly policies in your area; +be it your public administration, your library, your university, your + city, your region, or your country.
