+            Talk to your friends about Adélie Linux and the benefits of libre software, including security, speed, control, and ability to use the latest features without purchasing new computers every year.
             Have civil discussions on forums, newsgroups, and social media.
             If you're a student, talk to your school's Computer Science department and see if they are interested in a lab with Adélie Linux.
             By spreading the word, you're helping more people learn and spreading our ideas and goals worldwide.  Thank you!</para>

                 A branch should be a single "unit of work".  That is, a branch should have a single goal in mind.  Sometimes a branch can contain many commits; for instance, your goal may be "update the Gnome Office packages".  In that case, you would have at least one commit for each Gnome Office package.
                 However, sometimes a branch only needs one commit.  This can be useful for simple bug fixes, or bumping a single package's version.</para>
             <para>Branches should have a name that reflects their goal.  A branch name such as <literal>bugfix</literal> or <literal>version</literal> is unclear and doesn't communicate the goal of the branch.  A branch name such as <literal>gnumeric-1.12.35-update</literal> or <literal>fix-boot-on-g3</literal> is clear and concisely states the branch goal.</para>
