Advocacy – The barriers to effective promotion
I have just tried to follow some links at the following site
https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/
If I click 2020 and follow the link to https://www.documentfreedom.org/ then I get a page that gives me the date for 2018 (so kinda out of date)
The link for hardware freedom day goes to
https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ so it seems some of the links just go back on themselves. Not really helpful.
On the tab for 2020 there is no direct link to software freedom day.
I am happy to promote all this, but unless people can find what they expect they will just stick to what they are using now and go away with a really negative idea of what this is about.
Stickers like this and another one are great for advocacy, but useless if they link to outdated information.
I just find it very frustrating, and people will point out to us that they don't get this with Microsoft.
This is what we are up against. I feel that we just need to be far more effective, update information and ensure it is kept up to date.
