DELL, we want a free software computer

23 Ott 2008

There are three simple things you can ask Dell via their LIVE CHAT on the website but most of all via phone.

Our ideal computer (desktop, laptop, netbook) has:

1. an Atheros wireless chip because it uses free (as in freedom) drivers and so it can function perfectly in every GNU/Linux distribution.
2. the coreboot free BIOS.
3. a fully free GNU/Linux distribution preinstalled like gNewSense

No other company offers something like that and the request for such a product is high, as demonstrated by the famous Mark Shuttlework post about a free software laptop.
Dell could be the first company to create such a wonderful product and, as Asus did for the EEE Pc, could really create a new market.

The main problem is that Dell didn't understand this yet and it's for this reason we MUST INSIST WITH OUR CALLS AND OUR CHATS.

Together we can win.

This time the goal is really high so I really need all your help:

• please contact Dell (via live chat or phone) asking a computer as described above
• link this website
• write to your favuorite/famous blog or website asking them to talk about this campaign
• write a post on your blog/website inviting your readers to join this campaign
• send a txt or an email to all your friends and coworkers and ask them to join this campaign

YOU are the real force behind this campaign.
Fight for your freedom now!

Join my campaign to convince Dell to ship computers with GNU/Linux preloaded in ITALY too!

Since a few years Dell started to sell computers with GNU/Linux preloaded but not in all countries!
In Italy they are still not available so I decided to make a campaign to convince Dell to sell them in Italy too!
Please spread the word! Write to Dell via their online chat (first banner on the left column) and tell them you want computers with GNU/Linux preloaded in Italy too! Write to your favourite online newspapers and blogs and ask them to talk about this initiative. We want a free as in freedom operating system. We want GNU/Linux on our computers and not Windows Vista

Free Software Groups added!

I added a new link in the main navigation bar: Free Software Groups.
Are you a member of a GNU/Linux or free software user group? Do you defend freedom? Do you advocate free software all the time? Then it's time to join our list of groups. Together we can win. Please spread the word: add this website to your technorati favourites, blog about this post, ask your favourite news websites to talk about it.
