Assoli, the long-live Italian association devoted to the promotion of free software, last year asked Italian candidates to sign a letter where they agree to promote the use of free software.

Given the great results, yesterday Assoli launched a platform named “Caro Candidato” (eng: dear candidate) that will be used from now on for every Italian election.

The first campaign in ten days hired 101 Italian candidates, 14 have been actually elected.

Just before the last election I reported about one of them, and I am looking forward to know what he is doing, along with his 13 peers.

Elections will take place next 15-16 February in Sardinia, the local association Apritisoftware! is already taking action.
