Hi guys
Given that everyone is taking about why Free Software (and our new license) is a good idea...perhaps it's worth bringing up the fellowship conference that is going to happen shortly in Italy!
As you may (or may not) know there is going to be a conference in Italy in November that will provide an excellent opportunity for everyone in the fellowship to sit down together and have a discussion. There are so many things to talk about. Right off the top of my head: (1) Positive advocacy and how do to it effectively (2) Ways to increase the fellowship in each country (3) Ways to help people feel more involved in the Free Software community
One thing that I think would be interesting is to sit down with everyone and get a chance to know the faces behind the email address. The are people from all over Europe (and beyond) in the fellowship. I'm sure we have a great deal to say to each other.
My personal 'hobby horse' topic is advocacy. Free Software is a great idea and I think it's so important to tell people why this is so. Through positive advocacy we can accomplish a great deal. I think the November conference will provide an excellent opportunity for us to share ideas and to work out new ways to get our message across.
