Great News. The European Parliment vote on the software patents directive has been moved back to it's original date of September 1st.
All the info is at: http://swpat.ffii.org/news/03/plen0626/index.en.html
So we have an extra two months to get organised and educate our MEPs. This also indicates that a substantial number of MEPs are curious about the issue.
I can't find anything on the EP website to confirm this but FFII point to the June 30th schedule (which has no mention of a software patents vote) as proof that the date has been changed:
