I will keep this short and sweet. I am a new user of trisquel gnulinux and I love it. I have been using ubuntu for about two years now and it seems it keeps trying to go more and more mainstream with additions of nonfree software. I found out about trisquel gnulinux in Linux Format Magazine. So who ever chips in to the development of trisquel and the community keep up the good work. You have converted me.

Welcome home. :-)

It seems to me astounding that a nonfree magazine actually helped
freedom for you.

You might also enjoy some of Richard Stallman's talks if you haven't seen them (or you might not, it depends what kind of person you are). I would recommend these ones:

http://gobblin.se/u/onpon4/m/richard-stallman-a-free-digital-society-ann-arbor-mi/

I have sort of a bias for the second one because I was there personally, so it might not be as great as I think it is, but the first one is really good (and well-edited, no long pauses or anything like that).

I joined the community just a few weeks ago. So in fact, I'm a newbie too :)
I can recommend one special speech of Richard Stallman - it's the best I've ever heard:
