Re: [libreplanet-discuss] Linux Foundation Organizes LinuxCon 2016, Forgets to Use Linux Meme

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

Hm... Perhaps you mistyped the name of the event.

The name is "LinuxCon", and has mostly to do with "open source" than
with "free/libre software". The only event that is known and surely
about "free/libre software" is called "LibrePlanet" and happens usually
somewhere in North America.

For more information, go to LibrePlanet.org, and click on the
"Conference" link. Besides, be sure to participate on the
LibrePlanet.org wiki and use it to organize your local free/libre
software related actions and/or groups. If you are organizing some
action that involves demands to someone who's not aware of the
importance of free/libre software (like the 90% of all the people who
develop websites nowatdays) don't forget create an action item (see the
list of current action items
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Action_items>) and create an action item
yourself (you **do not** need to edit the "Action items" page directly,
just visit **one** of the items, copy their MediaWiki source, and make a
page anywhere in the same wiki, adapting that source for your case, if
done right, the table on "Action items" page should update after around
30min or less, and people who are subscribed to the Atom feed link given
in the "Action items" page should also receive such update, so that they
can act upon seeing an action of their interest).

While some MacBooks are compatible with fully free/libre system
distributions (as proven here:
<https://h-node.org/notebooks/catalogue/en/1/1/Apple/undef/undef/undef/compatibility/undef/undef/undef>)
 and we have to spare the MacBook user until he does show which system 
distribution he's using, you **are right** with one point: He "indirectly" 
contributed to the "survival" of one of the various non-(free/libre) system 
distributions (in this case: macOS), by buying a computer pre-installed with it.
