Contribute to high priority free software projects

There is a vital need to draw the Free Software community's attention to the ongoing development work on these particular projects. These projects are important because computer users are continually being seduced into using non-free software, because there is no adequate free replacement. Please support these projects: 3D driver for ATI graphics cards, OpenOffice 2.0 with Classpath, GPLFlash, GNU Compiler for Java, and GNU Classpath.

Support Public Knowledge against the "broadcast flag"

Public Knowledge won a court case to overturn the FCC's "broadcast flag" requirement. Now it needs your support for the coming battle in Congress. See http://www.publicknowledge.org/issues/bfcase for more information.

People are invited to support this declaration calling on WIPO to change its name and mission. http://fsfeurope.org/documents/wiwo.en.html

Please help the Union for the Public Domain raise awareness of the danger of the WIPO Broadcast Treaty, by asking your government officials questions about it.

Enhance the Free Software Directory:

We would like your suggestions for free software packages to add to the Free Software Directory. Please look up your favorite free software packages there, and if one of them is not found, please suggest it. Please email us the package name and the URL for where it can be found.
