HennR’s FSFE blog

Hey there, fellow fellows!

pdfreaders.org has great success at the moment. We are available in 15 languages now, because more and more people form all over the world participate in your site.

That makes me feel happy, and supports my work on this campaign, thanks all you people out there!

Another point I want to talk about is our ongoing success in the media. We got some attention with our press release [0], and lately got a big push by the technical director Mikko Hypponen of F-Secure [1].

The hits of our site have reached a level 15 times higher than before we got recommended by F-Secure!

A big thanks for that, too!

Here is a collection of popular sites we have been posted on:

The technical director of the F-Secure anti-virus vendor recommended at the RSA Conference to use alternatives to the Adobe Reader for security reasons.

The interesting point is that he did not recommend a specific reader, but pointed the listeners to pdfreaders.org!

This is a pretty good PR for us, and shows that it’s always good to have an alternative!
