I love the IFSO logo and your poster looks great.
It looks like people are big fans of the GNU with harp logo. I think we might want to get an official okay from FSF / FSFE / the GNU project that we can use the GNU image in this way. Ciaran, you have personal contact with some of those folks. Perhaps you could ask them?
On Tuesday at 6pm, there is a Communication Rights in the Information Society (CRIS) campaign information session.
I will go along to this.
I was talking to Malcolm and suggested that we hold a workshop on intelectual property rights and software related issues on Thursday at 6pm. I can confirm that this spot is available if IFSO people are up for it.
I'll be able to go. We should prepare some material on the work we've been doing. The two main strands are Copyright and Patents. I did some work on the copyright law, so I'll try to put together a summary of what went on there. Can someone else volunteer to write up our patent work? I can do that too, but I haven't been as involved recently. We might also want to have some notes on the Enforcement directive about which I know nothing.
people from Indymedia Ireland would be very interested in learning more about the various forms of copyleft licences (eg GPL, LGPL, BSD, Creative Commons) and issues related to them.
Can someone tackle this? I don't know much about the BSD and Creative Commons license.
Let me know if you are interested, either by email or when you see me at the centre.
If I get some positive replies to this e-mail, I'll get in touch with Checkov and confirm we'll do the workshop.
Thanks,
Malcohol.
