Description
"We are a small but enthusiastic community organised as a non-profit. Our main project, Get GNU Linux (GetGNULinux.org), is a high-quality multilingual website to promote free software amongst everyday users.
GetGNULinux is now translated in Spanish, French, Catalan, German and more languages are coming." (http://www.gnulinuxmatters.org/about/)
The association has the following objectives:
To make common computer users understand that freedom in software is as important as freedom in society, and therefore advocate the use of free software, in particular the GNU/Linux operating system.
