Imagine there are two dining mess (where students eat) in your college, one in which the menu is decided by the administration, and the other one in which the menu is decided by the students. The administration mess is under their policies over which students have no control, and the menu along with any other policies can be changed anytime without asking students, whereas every decision in the student mess is taken collectively by students.

Which one would you prefer as a student?

# project is like the student mess in the above example, where users control the Privacy Policy of the service.

There is no computer text book in my country, for children aged 6 to 14, geared towards free software.

I hope that we can write one. I need help: https://github.com/Aman9das/Our_Free_Software/tree/main

This is where we can get help:
1) If there already is one elsewhere in the world, we need a link to it, haha
2) we need to create the blueprint and syllabus structure
3) we need the initiative to reach a more people (and hopefully writers)
in reply to Aman Das :silverblue: :rstats:

The next libreplanet is living liberation this may be a good topic of discussion

if you e-mail campaigns@fsf.org they are still looking for talks at Libreplanet 2022 could be a good way to reach out to the community.
