A shame most of your pictures are on Facebook as it is blocked for
me, and not really promoting FOSS usage in general.
I saw many photos on your email list that were shared over Google Plus. For me using Facebook and using Google Plus is no different. PRISM scandal showed that Google has also been threatening our freedom. If I were to take a more radical decision about this, I think I would also block Google and its products. :)
I don’t use Facebook personally but I have an account to make announcements. Most people use Facebook in Turkey. There are so many, so many individuals that use Facebook and don’t know about free software. Facebook is only a bridge for us to reach to the people that don’t know about free software.
Have you
considered hosting them on your website?
Yes we are planning to put a gallery on our website. We had discussed this in our mailing list and volunteers that handled the website had promised to do it. You know these are voluntary work. I sent the photos to you, considering you might prepare a world report like the DFD team did.
I think one should not give “harsh feedbacks” towards people in voluntary work. I think this is important in community relations.
Since 2012, we have held a total of 11 events in Turkey for SFD (4 events in 2012, 7 events in 2013). In Turkey our approach is first to appreciate people for positive work and then to give negative feedbacks. This is the only way we can keep the motivation of the volunteers.
I’ll send you the photos again after we upload them on our website.
