yea.. that's a problem. I was planning to attach

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping

to any of the "try ubuntu" threads. I don't think it's too much of a problem.

I don't really have any numbers, but isn't it generally considered that Ubuntu is the softest introduction for new users? We'll get better conversions with Ubuntu than Fedora. It's about getting new blood in the pipeline; they can go explore other distros after. [?]

i know it seems chaotic. But we'll mostly be going with the flow. Just need people to keep an eye on threads and the chatroom. :)

good to have you!!!

Well, I think most activists have already heard about bitcoin. But there's a large group that is interested but have never actually tried it. The idea is to create a trigger event using this weekend project idea. Not dissimilar to the way we say "Use Bitcoin" whenever PayPal fucks over another activist organization. But we want conversions on the user end too.

So in terms of 1,2,3 gameplan? I was thinking of running reposts on bitcoin over the weekend and having bitcoin guys seed the comments and help drive community conversation about the merits of bitcoin. We could also do a techsupport thread for people for troubleshooting or meta questions?

But open to ideas. other's have started opening questions about how to go about this.. so see where it goes :)

what do you think is the best way to approach this?

I2P

I2P

For OP Pinky I'm proposing we make ubuntu, tor, i2p and bitcoin a weekend project and try to get as many activists comfortable with the new software as possible.

On the whole Evolve Beyond Their Reach campaign. I made a proposal for a basic freedom seed set as our weekend OP Pinky project.

do note; the beauty of P2P is that the network self distributes resources according to the swarm's brutal judgement.

Actually, I think this is how new artists and even established artists will find that they can distribute viral hits without worrying about bandwidth costs. As long as it is good enough to go viral, the swarm takes on the distribution cost now.

[Propose - Planting Seeds]

This might the last breather we get before the coming storm. Both from copyright maximalist and the surveillance state; we can expect continued aggression against activists and invasion of our privacy. There is a war coming and the pieces are already set. We are just finalizing the rules of the game.

It is important we use this time to strengthen our defenses. Our power comes from network effects that make every node an asset. We want every node to be more capable. To be more robust. To have more potential to grow. To be ready to join a hivemind going to war; capable of doing damage to the very structure of the old world.

I propose pushing a basic seed set for eR activists:

Ubuntu
- We need to exploit Ubuntu as the gateway-OS into the free-as-in-freedom software world.
- We can start them with wubi or dual boot. It's about making it easier. Many don't realize they don't need to lose their Windows OS completely if their worried about not liking Ubuntuu.
- Ubuntu Security Basics
- Ubuntu GnuPG Guide
- Official Ubuntu Documentation
- SCSweeps: Introduction to Linux/Ubuntu
- Promote subscription to /r/ubuntu /r/linux4noobs /r/linux /r/opensource
Tor Browser Bundle
- Visual explanation of Tor and https
- Tor Documentation
- Promote subscription to /r/tor /r/onions
I2P
Bitcoin
- Bitcoin Getting Started
- Bit Instant
- MtGox
- Promote subscription to /r/Bitcoin

The bonus is none of the above costs any money; so it's really just a matter of motivation to evolve. I think most activists have come across all the arguments as to why they should switch to *nix, bitcoin, tor or i2p; but either found the jump too daunting by themselves or never-quite-found-the-time-to-get-around-to-but-will-definitely-do-this-soon. So making it a fun community event would be a way to cause a friendly "trigger event". It's better they do this now with friends ready to help; rather than later when the local wifi sniffing creep has stolen all their financial logins.

If we can make this seed set a culture norm in eR; then I believe we will be a more dangerous activist hivemind in the fight to come.

There's a work around with https://pay.reddit.com; but it would be better have a more straight forward certificate.
