Dear Swedish fellows,

But not the Free Software community at large? Just the Fellowship?
I am a bit confused here. We cannot do anything directly about the Free Software community at large, because they are free to do what they want. And should be so. I'd say that the Free Software community at large is democratic in its nature as far as software goes. This is so since we have GPL and people can do what they want with the software (as long as they don't take away the four freedoms). What FSFE can do for the FS community is to work for the sake of Free Software, and this is what we do. Every day. So I hope (and believe) that the FS community think that we represent them.
Perhaps you mean that FSFE needs to do an attempt to do the above instead of "Free Software community at large"? If that's the case, then I've heard complaints about the openess and transparency of FSFE before. Is that what you mean?
Will there be a session for those of us who want to remain outside the Fellowship?
We will have to find a new chat room somewhere. But that should be a really easy task.
