Traditions

Most important part of upholding traditions is to get through to the younger generation. This means disseminating throughout the Internet interrelated web-sites on the history of the labour movement! All of this, however, takes money. The best application of the free software movement is in non-profit organisations and cash-strapped organisations (eg: small businesses) since one doesn't have to pay for additional expensive software licenses.

Cyber-space calendars, schedules, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol servers (to maintain indexed, searchable lists of rank-filer's names, addresses, &c.) edutainment resources (via the implementation of the open source Darwin streaming servers) adds a lot to a web-site. It makes the web-site, and the union's Internet presence bold! This draws the attention of lower schoolers and the so-called generation-X'ers.

Through the model listed above, focused on the open source software movement, will make for a wonderful alliance between the free software foundation and the labour movement!
