The FSF is planning its year-end membership drive, and we're
showcasing video from free
software supporters. We'd like you to record a short video for us,
making the case for joining the FSF. We're looking for a minimum of
20-50 seconds.
Content-wise, the most important thing is to share why you feel strongly about free software. Our campaign theme this year is "I use free software, and I support free software." If you could find a way to work that thought in, we'd appreciate it. And lastly, don't forget to identify yourself because we want people to know who you are!
GNU/Linux and free software
You've probably heard this from us before, but please use the words "free software" instead of "open source" and the words "GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux" when referring to the OS.
Sending us the video
Please see the general video guidelines.
Feel free to record the video in your native language. If your video is not in English, it would help us if you include a transcript in English.Ideas/fodder
