Pledge
Though not mandatory we encourage all the participants to take a small step by signing the pledge below Like last year:
I pledge to:
• use and spread free software amongst our family, friends, and neighbours, both in person and virtually.
•demand that services we use in turn use open standards and open APIs, and thus be available for all using free/libre/open source software, without the payment of any royalties.
•raise the issue of software freedom with our democratic representatives, to seek that they in turn respect and promote these principles.
• as far as possible, making our own work openly available, and seek to convince our employers, publishers, producers, and other persons who might be in a position to restrict
• work against any laws, policies — corporate or governmental — or technical restrictions that seek to prevent people from full exercise of their rights, and which are contrary to the above principles.
