Hello,
I'd like to help contact with institutions of Belarus and Russia. I think I could contact all reported bodies of these countries. I want to contact them on behalf of the FSFE: I have no postal address where I could receive letters reliably and with low latency.
However, I think some of those organisations may have difficulties in communicating in languages different from Russian, so if they send any questions to the FSFE, I'll probably want to help with them.
Whats our position on this?
Do we have anyone else capable of doing this in Russian? Can we rely on people we don't know for communication with government bodies?
Regards, Hannes

Our position is that we can pretty much need the help of highly motivated contributors, especially in countries where we don't master the language...
We have drafted all the necessary material to help them contact the institutions (letter to be sent, guideline on how to do it and FAQ to respond to institutions inquiries).
Ineiev has greatly participated in the campaign making contructive comments, and helping us deleting double entries and doing translations so I think we can rely on him, as well as we will rely on the LUG Scandiano in Italy (with supervision of the Italian team)
Best,

I think he is cable of doing this. It will also help us if he can print out the letters and post them from within Russia.

OK, great. I didn't want sow distrust, I just wanted to make sure, since in other places we are very careful with letting people officially speak for FSFE.
Anyway, the help is of course really appreciated.

Thanks a lot for having volunteered for this action ! We are organizing the preparation of the letters, we will then send you all the PDF versions of them so that you will only have to send them. Would it sound ok for you ?

What we could do is add your mail contact in the contact line of the letter -with mention "contact in Russian" for example-, so that if there is a question, they address alternatively to you if they prefer to discuss in Russian or to us if the y want an official statement.
Btw, you sent me the list of corrected institutions for Belarus and Russian, would it be possible for you to directly include the cahgnes on t he file of the Russian bugs ? I've dealt with the Belarussian (?) ones but if I have to deal manually with all the Russian ones, it will take me several hours, wheres you jsut have to remove the ones you saw were double...

Yes, you could add my e-mail.

As I see, the Ukrainian ones. I think now I could update the corresponding bugs-by and bugs-ru files in web SVN myself. Shall I mark the reports as closed with comment "invalid report" or just remove them?
but if I have to deal manually with all the Russian ones, it will take me several hours, wheres you jsut have to remove the ones you saw were double...
Yes, I could just filter them out.
