-<h2>Frequently Asked Questions About Free Software and Education</h2>
-
-<p>Many Free Software advocates encounter difficulties when talking to
-the administrators of educational institutions about the advantages of
-using and teaching Free Software. Often school administrators have never
-heard of Free Software or have heard only about “open source”,
-so they raise many doubts. Here we put together some of the most common
-questions and the best possible answers to eliminate uncertainties.</p>
-
-<dl>
- <dt>As a teacher, I've been trying hard to explain to the school's
- administrators the advantages that open source software can bring to our
- school, but they don't seem to be interested.</dt>
-
- <dd>
- <p>“Open source” refers only to the technical advantages
- of software. Schools may not be interested in that aspect since most
- probably technical requirements are already satisfied by the
- proprietary software in use. You need to talk to them in terms of
- Free Libre Software, not “open source”, so that you can
- explain to them the philosophical and ethical reasons why educational
- institutions should reject proprietary software.</p>
-
- <p>See the reasons <a href="/education/edu-why.html">why educational
- institutions should use and teach exclusively Free Software.</a> </p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt>I would love to see all schools migrate to Free Software, but I think
- it's hopeless. Proprietary software companies have too much power, even
- over schools. The situation is discouraging.</dt>
-
- <dd>
- <p>While it is true that proprietary software corporations have
- managed to impose their products on society by using schools as
- propaganda agents, it is also true that many schools around the world
- have adopted Free Software with excellent results. See our
- <a href="/education/edu-cases.html">Case Studies</a> section for some
- examples.</p>
-
- <p>When we started the GNU Project back in 1983, the situation was
- very discouraging for us too. We started from zero, and today
- millions of people around the world use Free Libre Software.</p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt>I am the head of a technical institute and I would like to teach our
- students the use and administration of a Free Libre platform, but I have
- to comply with the curriculum established by the Ministry of Education,
- which requires the teaching of proprietary platforms and programs.</dt>
-
- <dd>
- <p>If you are literally forced to teach nonfree software, you should
- tell your students that you consider this software unethical, that
- you are doing this only because you are being forced, and that you
- will do as little of it as possible so that you can move on to
- freedom-respecting software.</p>
-
- <p>We must not forget that schools have a great influence on society,
- so making our students aware of the advantages of Free Software is a
- way of putting pressure on decision makers. You can start by telling
- your students about Free Software and its ethical values, as they might
- never have heard of it. With your endorsement and support, this may
- lead to the formation of a <a
- href="http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group_list";>Free Software Group</a>
- in your school. Then the group can make its voice heard by writing
- letters to the Ministry, holding events to promote Free Software, and
- other similar activities.</p>
-
- <p>When computer users will start demanding their rights, Governments
- will have to issue their laws accordingly. That is why political and
- social awareness is a fundamental aspect which cannot be left aside
- when talking about Free Software.</p>

-<h2>Free Learning Resources</h2>
-
-<p>Free learning resources, like free software, is a matter of freedom,
-not price. It's about bringing the principles of free software to
-general knowledge and educational materials. Knowledge should be usable
-and accessible to all without restrictions and should not be treated as
-property. It is not an article of consumer goods that decays over time or
-wears out with use like a pair of shoes. Knowledge is a naturally abundant
-resource that improves with usage: the more it is used and passed around,
-the more it grows for the benefit of all. The introduction of measures
-designed to favor the ownership of knowledge, tailored to prevent people
-from accessing, using or sharing knowledge, is a conspiracy to inhibit
-human progress.</p>
-
-<p>These principles on the freedom of knowledge have always been in the
-spirit of the GNU Project. In 1999 it formally introduced the concept of a
-<a href="/encyclopedia/free-encyclopedia.html">Free Universal Encyclopedia
-and Learning Resource</a>, which was fulfilled by the Wikipedia project.</p>
-
-<dl>
-<dt><a href="http://www.wikipedia.org";>Wikipedia</a></dt>
-
-<dd>Written in collaboration by thousands of volunteers from all over
-the world, Wikipedia is nowadays the best example of knowledge made
-available to and usable by anyone without restrictions. Wikipedia readers
-are allowed to copy, use, and adapt the articles, provided that the source
-is mentioned and that eventual derivative works are released under the same
-terms (see <a href="/licenses/copyleft.html">Copyleft</a>).</dd>
-
-<dt><a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page";>Project
-Gutenberg</a></dt>
-
-<dd>This project offers general knowledge books that are free as in freedom.
-It publishes plain text digital versions of public-domain works. If you are
-looking for a copy of a classic book, your search should start here.
-
-<p>They have a very clear explanation about the
-<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:No_Cost_or_Freedom%3f";>
-difference between free as in price and free as in freedom</a> related to
-printed material.</p>
-</dd>
-
-<dt>GNU Project</dt>
-
-<dd>We maintain a list of <a href="/doc/other-free-books.html">free books</a>
-mainly related to free software documentation, and we make
-<a href="/manual/manual.html">GNU manuals</a> available online. All books
-published by the
-<a href="http://shop.fsf.org/category/books/";>Free Software Foundation</a>
-are free as in freedom.</dd>
-
-<dt><a href="http://ftacademy.org/";>Free Technology Academy</a></dt>
-
-<dd>The Free Technology Academy (FTA) is a joint initiative from
-several educational institutions in various countries. It aims to
-contribute to a society that permits all users to study, participate and
-build upon existing knowledge without restrictions. The FTA offers an
-online master level programme with course modules about free
-technologies. These courses are taught completely online in a virtual
-campus based on the Campus Project interoperability framework.
-
-<p>The FTA is a collaboration between the Free Knowledge Institute, the
-Open University of Catalonia (Spain) and the Open University of the
-Netherlands. A larger group of Associate Partners adds to the founding
-base with a network of organisations that share a common interest in
-offering courses in the area of free technology. The FTA is extending
-the current network of partners and collaborations continuously and
-encourages both individuals and organizations to contribute to the
-community.</p></dd>

-<h2>Groups and Projects</h2>
-
-<p>There are several groups and organizations around the world who
-follow the GNU philosophy and are working on projects aimed at bringing
-free software to the education field. A few of them are listed below. If
-your project supports only free software and it is not listed here,
-please contact us at <a href="mailto:education@gnu.org";>
-<education@gnu.org></a> to let us know.</p>
-
-<!-- Add new entries in alphabetical order except for projects directly
related to GNU, which should be listed first -->
-
-<dl>
- <dt><a href="http://fsfeurope.org/projects/education/education.en.html";>
- FSFE Education Project</a></dt>
-
- <dd>“The FSFE's Education Team exists to raise awareness and bring the
- benefits of free software to all groups involved in education. It aims
- for a legal framework that prohibits discrimination against free
- software and its users.”</dd>
-
- <dt><a href="http://guri.hipatia.net/";>GURI</a></dt>
-
- <dd>Guri is a group which was born inside an Italian High School as
- the result of a program carried out by NGO Hipatia to raise awareness
- about the role of free software in the education field. Guri opposes
- the growing practice of treating knowledge as if it were a tangible
- object subject to ownership. It fights to change the mainstream
- cultural framework in Italy which prevents the exercise of some of
- the most important human rights by posing dangerous threats to our
- freedom such as software patents, unfair copyright laws, and the
- adoption of proprietary, subjugating software.
-
- <p>The goals of the Guri project are to convert the educational
- system so that it is based exclusively on free software and to extend
- the freedoms it grants to every field of knowledge. Guri believes in
- the power of education to shape a better society by teaching students
- the values of sharing and cooperation. It advocates and works towards
- a non-pyramidal system to share knowledge as a fundamental good for
- humanity, a system in which everyone can participate actively and
- access knowledge without restrictions.</p>
-
- <p>To achieve its goals, the group takes action mainly in High School
- and University environments, organizing workshops and courses to
- promote awareness about the ethical principles of free software.</p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt><a href="http://hipatia.net/";>Hipatia</a></dt>
-
- <dd>Hipatia is an international NGO (non-governmental organization)
- that upholds the right of all human beings to access, use, create,
- modify and distribute knowledge. It is formed by people from all
- around the world who advocate the ideals of the free software
- movement and work towards putting those principles into practice.
- Hipatia emphasizes the importance of using free software in education;
- to that end, its members often conduct workshops in educational
- institutions, specially in primary and secondary level schools.
-
- <p>The name of the group refers to the Greek philosopher
- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia";>Hypatia.</a></p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt><a href="https://itschool.gov.in/otherprograms.php";>IT@School</a></dt>
-
- <dd>IT@School is a project of the government of Kerala, India,
- started in 2001 to introduce Information Communication Technologies
- into the State's schools. As part of the project, a customized
- GNU/Linux operating system was developed, which is now being used in
- more than 2,600 schools in the State. Training in the use of Free
- Software was imparted to thousands of teachers, school coordinators
- and students.</dd>
-
- <dt><a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150420025426/http://www.ofset.org/tiki-index.php";>OFSET</a></dt>
-
- <dd>OFSET promotes the development and enhancement of Free
- Software for the educational system and the classroom. It was born in
- France but its members collaborate and work together towards common
- goals from all over the world by using the internet as a means of
- communication. Open and frank collaboration between teachers,
- software developers, translators and authors has always been the key
- to the success of OFSET's activities.
-
- <p>One important achievement of the OFSET group is
- <a href="/software/dr-geo/">Dr. Geo</a>, a
- program widely used for teaching geometry. OFSET has also developed
- <a href="https://usb.freeduc.org/index-en.html";>
- Freeduc-USB</a>, a bootable USB stick that contains useful
- applications for the classroom.</p>

-
- <dd>Sugar Labs is a project that provides the
- <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/What_is_Sugar";>Sugar learning

-<h3 id="learning-resources">Free Learning Resources</h3>
-
-<p>Free learning resources, like free software, is a matter of freedom,
-not price. It's about bringing the principles of free software to
-general knowledge and educational materials. Knowledge should be usable
-and accessible to all without restrictions and should not be treated as
-property. It is not an article of consumer goods that decays over time or
-wears out with use like a pair of shoes. Knowledge is a naturally abundant
-resource that improves with usage: the more it is used and passed around,
-the more it grows for the benefit of all. The introduction of measures
-designed to favor the ownership of knowledge, tailored to prevent people
-from accessing, using or sharing knowledge, is a conspiracy to inhibit
-human progress.</p>
-
-<p>These principles on the freedom of knowledge have always been in the
-spirit of the GNU Project. In 1999 it formally introduced the concept of a
-<a href="/encyclopedia/free-encyclopedia.html">Free Universal Encyclopedia
-and Learning Resource</a>, which was fulfilled by the Wikipedia project.</p>
-
-<p>In these pages we want to present learning resources and projects that
-follow the principles of the GNU Project. Some of them are educational
-institutions who offer courses on the philosophical and technical
-aspects of free software.</p>
-
-<dl>
-<dt><a href="http://www.wikipedia.org";>Wikipedia</a></dt>
-
-<dd>Written in collaboration by thousands of volunteers from all over
-the world, Wikipedia is nowadays the best example of knowledge made
-available to and usable by anyone without restrictions. Wikipedia readers
-are allowed to copy, use, and adapt the articles, provided that the source
-is mentioned and that eventual derivative works are released under the same
-terms (see <a href="/licenses/copyleft.html">Copyleft</a>).</dd>
-

-<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:No_Cost_or_Freedom%3f";>

-build upon existing knowledge without restrictions. The FTA offers an
-online master level programme with course modules about free
-technologies. These courses are taught completely online in a virtual
-campus based on the Campus Project interoperability framework.
-
-<p>The FTA is a collaboration between the Free Knowledge Institute, the
-Open University of Catalonia (Spain) and the Open University of the
-Netherlands. A larger group of Associate Partners adds to the founding
-base with a network of organisations that share a common interest in
-offering courses in the area of free technology. The FTA is extending
-the current network of partners and collaborations continuously and

-<h2>The Education Team</h2>
-
-<div class="article">
-<p>The Education Team was initially created to carry out the task of
-building a section within the gnu.org website to specifically address
-the importance of using Free Software in the education field. We believe
-that the achievements of the <a href="/gnu/the-gnu-project.html">GNU
-Project</a> must be applied to all areas of education if they are to
-have an effective positive influence on society as a whole.</p>
-
-<p>The Team provides an answer to the need for a comprehensive
-approach to the adoption of <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">
-Free Software</a> by educational institutions. Along with technical
-support and availability of adequate free educational software, an
-improved understanding of the fundamentals of the
-<a href="/philosophy/philosophy.html">GNU philosophy</a> will
-significantly aid the decisional process at times when schools and
-universities are considering the possibility of installing or migrating
-to Free Software. For this reason, we aim at emphasizing the importance
-of the ethical principles of Free Software since they are in line with
-the goals of educational institutions of all levels. This approach will
-ensure success and effectiveness of the migration experience over time.
-Raising awareness about these principles is the main goal of our
-Team.</p>
-
-<p>We oppose any measures undertaken by governments or educational
-institutions to impose the use of proprietary software and standards
-in the school. We stand up for the right of teachers and students to
-use Free Software at school.</p>
-
-<p>With our work, we also want to provide evidence that the freedoms
-granted by Free Software live not in the realm of abstract theories but
-can be exercised by all users, including educational institutions.
-Universities and schools can and should put those freedoms to good use,
-and our aim is to show how.</p>
-
-<p>With those objectives in mind, the Team intends to perform the
-following tasks:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Present cases of educational institutions around the world who
- are successfully using and teaching Free Software.</li>
-
- <li>Show examples of how free programs are being used by educational
- institutions to improve the learning and teaching processes.</li>
-
- <li>Publish articles on the various aspects involved in the use of
- Free Software by educational institutions.</li>
-
- <li>Maintain a dialogue with teachers, students and administrators of
- educational institutions to listen to their difficulties and provide
- support.</li>
-
- <li>Keep in contact with other groups around the world committed to
- the promotion of Free Software in education.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>If you are interested in our work and wish to help, if you have any
-questions or suggestions, or if you know of educational institutions
-around the world who follow the GNU philosophy and have successfully
-implemented Free Software, please drop us a note at
-<a href="mailto:education@gnu.org";><education@gnu.org></a>.</p>

-<h2>Free Software for Education</h2>
-
-<p>Here are two lists of high-quality free/libre software applications that
-can be used in schools and educational institutions of all levels. The
-first one is a list of free/libre programs along with the popular
-proprietary applications they replace. The second one contains free/libre
-programs that do not necessarily replace a proprietary counterpart but can
-be very useful to students and teachers.</p>
-
-<p>All these programs are released under a license that is granted
-for zero price and does not expire. While we are glad that schools can also
-save money with these programs, avoiding miseducation (teaching dependence
-on nonfree software) is a more important imperative: when we say these
-programs are <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>,
-<strong>we are talking about freedom, not price</strong>. It means that
-you are free to use them constructively, either alone or in a community,
-while respecting the freedom of others.</p>
-
-<p>Everyone should use free software, because only free software gives
-users the freedom to control their own computers. However, there are
-<a href="/education/edu-schools.html">specific ethical reasons</a> that
-apply to education.</p>
-
-<p>In addition to the wrong of nonfree software, the use of third-party
-network services in schools poses yet another problem: <a
-href="https://www.eff.org/press/releases/google-deceptively-tracks-students-internet-browsing-eff-says-complaint-federal-trade";>
-the collection of students (and teachers) personal data by companies</a>.</p>
-
-<p>But even if the school never used those services, it could not be sure
-that the machines are not sending data. In fact, the source code of
-proprietary programs (with a few exceptions) is secret, so users don't
-know what the software is really doing.</p>

-<h2>GNU Kind Communications Guidelines</h2>
-
-<p class="byline">by <a href="http://www.stallman.org/";>Richard
Stallman</a></p>
-<hr class="thin" />
-
-<div class="article">
-<h3>Premise</h3>
-
-<p>The GNU Project encourages contributions from anyone who wishes to
-advance the development of the GNU system, regardless of gender, race,
-ethnic group, physical appearance, religion, cultural background, and
-any other demographic characteristics, as well as personal political
-views.</p>
-
-<p>People are sometimes discouraged from participating in GNU
-development because of certain patterns of communication that strike
-them as unfriendly, unwelcoming, rejecting, or harsh. This
-discouragement particularly affects members of disprivileged
-demographics, but it is not limited to them. Therefore, we ask all
-contributors to make a conscious effort, in GNU Project discussions,
-to communicate in ways that avoid that outcome—to avoid
-practices that will predictably and unnecessarily risk putting some
-contributors off.</p>
-
-<p>These guidelines suggest specific ways to accomplish that goal.</p>
-
-<h3>Guidelines</h3>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Please assume other participants are posting in good faith, even if
- you disagree with what they say. When people present code or text as
- their own work, please accept it as their work. Please do not
- criticize people for wrongs that you only speculate they may have
- done; stick to what they actually say and actually do.</li>
-
- <li>Please think about how to treat other participants with respect,
- especially when you disagree with them. For instance, call them by the
- names they use, and honor their preferences about their gender
- identity<a href="#f1">[1]</a>.</li>
-
- <li>Please do not take a harsh tone towards other participants, and
- especially don't make personal attacks against them. Go out of your
- way to show that you are criticizing a statement, not a person.</li>
-
- <li>Please recognize that criticism of your statements is not a
- personal attack on you. If you feel that someone has attacked you, or
- offended your personal dignity, please don't “hit back”
- with another personal attack. That tends to start a vicious circle of
- escalating verbal aggression. A private response, politely stating
- your feelings <em>as feelings</em>, and asking for peace, may calm
- things down. Write it, set it aside for hours or a day, revise it to
- remove the anger, and only then send it.</li>
-
- <li>Please avoid statements about the presumed typical desires,
- capabilities or actions of some demographic group. They can offend
- people in that group, and they are always off-topic in GNU Project
- discussions.</li>
-
- <li>Please be especially kind to other contributors when saying they
- made a mistake. Programming means making lots of mistakes, and we all
- do so—this is why regression tests are useful. Conscientious
- programmers make mistakes, and then fix them. It is helpful to show
- contributors that being imperfect is normal, so we don't hold it
- against them, and that we appreciate their imperfect contributions
- though we hope they follow through by fixing any problems in them.</li>
-
- <li>Likewise, be kind when pointing out to other contributors that they
- should stop using certain nonfree software. For their own sake, they
- ought to free themselves, but we welcome their contributions to our
- software packages even if they don't do that. So these reminders
- should be gentle and not too frequent—don't nag.
-
- <p>By contrast, to suggest that others use nonfree software opposes
- the basic principles of GNU, so it is not allowed in GNU Project
- discussions.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>Please respond to what people actually said, not to exaggerations
- of their views. Your criticism will not be constructive if it is aimed
- at a target other than their real views.</li>
-
- <li>If in a discussion someone brings up a tangent to the topic at
- hand, please keep the discussion on track by focusing on the current
- topic rather than the tangent. This is not to say that the tangent is
- bad, or not interesting to discuss—only that it shouldn't
- interfere with discussion of the issue at hand. In most cases, it is
- also off-topic, so those interested ought to discuss it somewhere
- else.
-
- <p>If you think the tangent is an important and pertinent issue,
- please bring it up as a separate discussion, with a Subject field to
- fit, and consider waiting for the end of the current discussion.</p>
- </li>
-
- <li>Rather than trying to have the last word, look for the times when
- there is no need to reply, perhaps because you already made the
- relevant point clear enough. If you know something about the game of
- Go, this analogy might clarify that: when the other player's move is not
- strong enough to require a direct response, it is advantageous to give
- it none and instead move elsewhere.</li>
-
- <li>Please don't argue unceasingly for your preferred course of action
- when a decision for some other course has already been made. That
- tends to block the activity's progress.</li>
-
- <li>If other participants complain about the way you express your
- ideas, please make an effort to cater to them. You can find ways to
- express the same points while making others more comfortable. You are
- more likely to persuade others if you don't arouse ire about secondary
- things.</li>
-
- <li>Please don't raise unrelated political issues in GNU Project
- discussions, because they are off-topic. The only political positions
- that the GNU Project endorses are (1) that users should have control
- of their own computing (for instance, through free software) and (2)
- supporting basic human rights in computing. We don't require you as a
- contributor to agree with these two points, but you do need to accept
- that our decisions will be based on them.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>By making an effort to follow these guidelines, we will encourage
-more contribution to our projects, and our discussions will be
-friendlier and reach conclusions more easily.</p>
-
-</div>
-
-<h3 style="font-size:1.1em">Footnote</h3>
-
-<ol>
- <li id="f1">
- <p>Honoring people's preferences about gender identity includes
- not referring to them in ways that conflict with that identity.
- For instance, not to use pronouns for them that conflict with it.
- There are several ways to avoid that; one way is to use
- gender-neutral pronouns, since they don't conflict with any
- possible gender identity. One choice is singular use of
- “they,” “them” and “their.”
- Another choice uses the gender-neutral singular pronouns,
- “person,” “per” and “pers,”
- which are used in
- <a href="/prep/maintain/maintain.html#About-This-Document">
- Information for Maintainers of GNU Software</a>.
- Other gender-neutral pronouns have also been used in English.

-</p></blockquote>
-
-<p><em>Free software</em> means that the software's users have
-freedom. (The issue is not about price.) We developed the GNU
-operating system so that users can have freedom in their
-computing.</p>
-
-<p>Specifically, free software means users have
-the <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">four essential freedoms</a>:
-(0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source
-code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute
-modified versions.</p>
-
-<p>Software differs from material objects—such as chairs,
-sandwiches, and gasoline—in that it can be copied and changed
-much more easily. These facilities are why software is useful; we
-believe a program's users should be free to take advantage of them,
-not solely its developer.</p>

-<h2>Remote Education: My Children's Freedom and Privacy at Stake</h2>
-
-<p class="byline">by Javier Sepúlveda
-<a href="#sepulveda" id="sepulveda-rev"><sup>[*]</sup></a></p>
-<hr class="thin" />
-
-<div class="article">
-<p>At the beginning of March 2020, we started to hear worrisome news
-about the spread of COVID-19 in Spain. Within days, all public events,
-conferences<a href="#conferences">[1]</a> and gatherings were
-disallowed. Even traditional celebrations historically held in this
-period, such as the <cite>Falles</cite><a href="#falles">[2]</a>,
-were canceled.</p>
-
-<p>Next came the confinement of citizens at home and the indefinite
-suspension of all in-person educational activities. Teaching had to go
-online, but were schools, colleges and universities prepared for this?
-The answer is no. In order to switch to remote education, they needed
-videoconferencing platforms, communication systems and servers they
-did not always have. And this is where the problem starts.</p>
-
-<p>Educational institutions began to choose whatever they needed
-unilaterally and independently. Each teacher, school or university
-picked a different program or platform on the spur of the moment,
-basing their choices on the sole criteria of practicality and
-popularity of the software. Far more important factors such as the
-privacy and freedom of their students—or their own—were
-left aside. Students and parents had no say, it was a
-take-it-or-leave-it approach.</p>
-
-<p>Why were hundreds of students being condemned to use software that
-is unfair to them? Why should all data (voice, videos, handwritten
-documents) be owned by a company? The price of proprietary systems is
-the surrender of our freedom. It is the voice of our children and
-their image on video—everything is recorded on third-party
-servers for later analysis and exploitation. A very high price to
-pay.</p>
-
-<p>The situation was unacceptable. It was time to say <em>NO</em>.</p>
-
-<h3>My children's schools</h3>
-
-<p>Marta (10) and Javi (12) attend public schools in San Antonio de
-Benagéber, Valencia, for their compulsory education. Apart from that,
-they are involved in extracurricular activities at three different
-private institutions. Marta takes elementary clarinet classes at the
-local non-profit Music Association (to which I provide web and email
-hosting.) Javi takes trumpet lessons at the Professional Conservatory
-of Music to prepare for admission to higher music studies in that
-institution. They both also attend a local English Academy.</p>
-
-<h3>My fight</h3>
-
-<p>For my moral grounds, I cannot let my children use nonfree
-software. I was determined to fight, but how? I was alone in this, and
-still under quarantine. I realized I could help people cope with the
-emergency by offering solutions I could easily find in my field of
-knowledge: free software they could use for their specific needs.</p>
-
-<p>But I also realized the task was not easy. It was necessary to
-start with small steps, realistic goals. With the private schools, I
-thought, they should be more inclined to listen, since there I am not
-only a parent, but also a paying costumer. And at Marta's Music
-Association I was also their server provider, so surely they would
-trust my opinion on issues related to information technology.</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<p><em>“A walk of a thousand miles consists of lots of steps. Each
-time you don't install some nonfree program, or decide not to run it
-that day, that is a step towards your own freedom.”</em> (Richard
-Stallman, <a href="/philosophy/saying-no-even-once.html">Saying No to
-unjust computing even once is help</a>).</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<h3>The first step</h3>
-
-<p>When a professor from Marta's music school called me to invite me
-to create a Skype account for my daughter's lessons, I said,
-“Have you read the terms and conditions of this service? Skype
-is widely known software, but that doesn't mean it's the best choice.
-Have you heard about Jitsi? I can help you. I will send you all the
-information right now with an explanation on how to use it so that you
-can try it. It's also free/libre software, it does not intercept
-communications and it does not collect or store any data.”
-Very enthusiastically, he replied, “Thank you, I really
-appreciate your advice.”</p>
-
-<p>I immediately emailed him all the necessary information, complete
-with detailed instructions he might need to get started. Two days
-later, I received an email from the school principal thanking me and
-saying that <a
-href="https://www.socmusab.es/noticias/escuela-de-musica-clases-on-line-mas-justas-y-seguras/";>
-all teachers and students had agreed to use Jitsi</a>.</p>
-
-<p>I was amazed. By being positive and showing my intention to help,
-I got the school teacher to understand and listen to my advice.</p>

-
-<h3>The second step</h3>
-
-<p>Results were not as immediate at the English Academy.</p>
-
-<p>When they decided to go online, they surprised me with a call to
-say I needed to open a Skype account for my children's first remote
-class, which was due the following day. There was no time. There was
-no way out. Either that, or the kids would miss their lessons. I
-accepted—for the moment.</p>
-
-<p>Later that day, I engaged in what seemed a never ending battle with
-them. To make my case, I first sent them a well reasoned and
-informative letter. I reminded them that Skype is owned by Microsoft,
-a company that develops freedom-denying software, and explained what
-free/libre software is. I mentioned the abusive clauses in the
-company's terms of service, among which: Microsoft has the right to
-record and analyze conversations, and they can share this data with
-other companies. I suggested to replace Skype with Jitsi and offered
-to help. I even said my children would quit the institution unless it
-changed to a free/libre platform.</p>
-
-<p>They did not respond. They were forcing almost one hundred
-students, their teachers and their parents to open a Microsoft account
-in order to use a piece of software that takes advantage of them. They
-were failing to see, dazzled by an impressive display of
-misinformation about the software they considered to be
-“well-known,” thus good.</p>
-
-<p>I resent my email to the principal of the school and this time I
-forwarded it to teachers as well. I waited. I called them and talked
-to them at length. Once again, I made it clear I would withdraw my
-children from their school unless they changed that software.</p>
-
-<p>Eventually they understood my position and became aware of the
-dangers of Skype. Finally, they agreed to use Jitsi!</p>
-
-<h3>The third step</h3>
-
-<p>In the meantime, after two weeks of confinement, Javi was taking
-his trumpet classes over Skype. At the next lesson, I sat next to my
-son and spoke to the teacher. I began by thanking him for his work,
-since Javi was making progress despite the difficult situation; then I
-mentioned my concern about privacy and other issues that these nonfree
-programs present. I told him pretty much the same things I had told
-the other teachers. He was surprised, “I didn't know about this!
-Is there any other program we can use?” So I invited him to use
-<a href="https://videoconferencia.valenciatech.com/";>
-my Jitsi server</a>, to avoid interruptions and guarantee the best
-sound quality.</p>
-
-<p>Since then, Javi takes his trumpet lessons on Jitsi. The teacher
-then asked me if he could use the same server with <em>all</em> his
-trumpet students and I agreed, of course. The purpose of that server
-is to help anyone who may need it.</p>

-
-<h3>Going forward</h3>
-
-<p>I managed to raise awareness about freedom and privacy issues in my
-community and expand the use of free software. More than two hundred
-people in town are now using Jitsi. But I want to do more, I want to
-keep walking. For one thing, I want to reach the local public schools,
-knowing beforehand what a challenge that is.</p>
-
-<p>I will keep fighting nonfree software, specially in schools, armed
-with the resources I have at hand: my servers, on which I have
-installed free/libre high quality platforms for everyone to use,
-such as <a href="https://docs.valenciatech.com/";>Etherpad</a>, <a
-href="https://bbb.valenciatech.com";>BigBlueButton</a> and the Jitsi
-server I mentioned before. Right now many people are using them, so
-I am soon going to upgrade the hardware to allow more simultaneous
-connections without loosing quality.</p>
-
-<p>What is most important, I am armed with knowledge about the <a
-href="/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html">
-philosophical foundations</a> of the Free Software Movement and the
-increasingly significant role that software plays in our daily
-lives.</p>
-
-<h3>Thanks</h3>
-
-<p>Thanks to my mentor, Richard Stallman, whose support and
-encouragement helped me become aware of the value of my efforts.
-Thanks to him for urging me to share my experience with
-the Free Software Foundation, and thanks to the FSF for mentioning my
-work among others they included in an article about <a
