[SWLUG] software patents

[Dick Bain]

Self explanatory

Hi,

Could you please pass this information to everyone that may be interested?

Richard Stallman, Alan Cox and others will speak in Brussels on 2 June 
2005 about software patents. Later there will be a public demonstration. 
On 6 June 2005 Europarl will vote on this issue, and it will certainly 
affect the future of libre software in EU.

The registration form says today is the last day for registering, but that's
not true.  (I just checked this with Laurence, the main organiser.)  People
can register right up to the event, and even if someone isn't registered, if
they turn up with their passport, they should be able to get in.

Subject: need help to publicise June 2nd Free Software event and demo

Hi all,

There's a "Free Software Vs. Software Patents" conference on June 2nd in
Brussels with Richard Stallman and Alan Cox as the keynote speakers - but
not many have registered for the event.

Can people pass on this information to their national mailing lists?

(particularly if you can pass this information on in French/German/Dutch to
 the national mailing lists of nearby countries where people can come
 without having to book a flight.)

Registration form:
http://www.greens-efa.org/en/agenda/detail.php?id=1726
Event details:
http://greens-efa.org/pdf/agenda/Freesoftwareandsoftwarepatents/index.php

There will also be a demonstration afterwards, and a Freedom Party by FSFE -
and on June 1st is FFII's software patents conference, so this should be a
great day.

A good turn-out from the free software community would show our MEPs that
software freedom matters.

thanks for any help.
