Submission + - New Years Resolutions

So what are your new years resolutions?

Here's one of mine: Get Slashdot to add a 'Slow News Day' Section and Topic on the Slashdot Story Submissions page.

And here's one I saw over on Technocrat (from a BadVista post apparently).

New Year Resolutions:

1. Renew my FSF membership.

2. Get at least one new person to Join the FSF.

3. Help at least 2 people become 100% free from Microsoft software.

4. Explain what DRM and TC are to at least 4 people (and I mean really be effective at explaining how this affects them).

5. Give away at least 8 'Live' GNU/Linux Cd's — and take the time to sit with each person the first time they try it out (there is nothing like a personal bit of supplying 'helpful tips').

Now there are 5 really easy resolutions to keep. You can add more, and I'd encourage everyone to do even more to promote GNU/Linux and the FSF.

BUT, think what a change we all could make if each of us did just these 5 simple things in 2007.

I hope you will share my resolutions (and also keep them) in the coming year.

And to all, a very Happy New Year!


So OK, Slashdot, what are your big resolutions for 2007?
