This is why it's possible to support Free Software without installing software. Because one can transmit the /ideas/ and lend gravity to the importance of Freedom even to people who will continue to use say Apple products.
Interesting point. This suggests that for pushing Free Software, we could (and should) look beyond just the software itself. So for instance, make use of our release announcements and associated written articles, contests, and other places where we engage with end users as opportunities to extol our ideals.
I did want to bring up the info box at the hackfest. I was planning on convincing more people that it was important to both community and education. I'd like to get the beta of the feature in for 0.93 and it finalized for the 1.0. But I'll need both developer support and community support to get that done. Does anyone want to help me with the programming part?
I'm not recalling what the 'info box' was, can you explain in more detail?
