hi

I was just reading the blog by long time FMer Martin Kean:
http://martinkean.blogspot.com/2011/05/wall-newspaper.html

It made me think - could we manage a 'WallNews' campaign promoting free
software via FM? I was thinking about a monthly WallNews coming out -
formatted as a US letter/A4 PDF - available as both a one page 'website'
and also as a poster that anyone could print and put on their office
bulletin board or paste to some poster wall somewhere etc...

It would work best if it was well designed and had at least one cool
illustration per issue and was also maybe a bit funny or at least well
written, informative and light hearted. Maybe it could even feature a
cartoon...

then each month the article might be on a free software and referencing
the softwares homesite and the fm docs...

we could also try and get other orgs to push it to their constituency
and see if we can get it to roll...

anyways, just jamming ideas now...it could work pretty well i think as
the action we want people to take is just to print it out and stick it
on a wall somewhere...

whataya rekin? anyone want to take this on? if so i would help push it
hard though the fm newsletter and whatever other channels i can muster...
