Hi, I am sending you some info on the planned SELF tour that we have managed to work out. As Jonas informed me, the set dates are between 29th of October and 11th of November. The cities we are aiming for are Helsingborg, Malmö, Linköping, Karlstad, Jönköping, Borås, Stockholm (special agenda, pls refer to end of e-mail), Uppsala, Umeå, Luleå and Göteborg. no particular order yet, except the idea of Göteborg being the finale. Do u have any objections about them?
The team is to consist of Henrik and Jonas/Mathias Klang as speakers and me as everything else on the organisational/technical part. Does anyone of you want to join anywhere and give a speech? Do you have any contacts in the proposed cities. The following 5 paragraphs are the invitation that will be send out to mainly university professors...
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) would like to organize a presentation of its SELF project, on campus in your university. This would be a part of a large Swedish tour, informing specialist and public about the SELF Platform. We therefore need your blessing and cooperation to involve your university and students in such a presentation. The tour is set to take place between 29th of October and 11th of November 2007.
The presentation should not take more than two hours and is open and free to everybody. It will cover an explanation of The SELF Platform, the principals of Open Documentation and the ideology of the Open Access movement.
FSFE The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is a non-profit and (in some countries) charitable non-governmental organization dedicated to Free Software as in Freedom. As an organization based upon the European culture and background, we believe in and are following fundamental principles such as democracy, multilateralism, cooperation, dialog and transparency. For more information please visit our website www.fsfeurope.org
The SELF project (Science, Education and Learning in Freedom) aims at creating a repository of educational materials on Free Software and Open Standards. It does this by providing a platform for the collaborative development of new or missing educational materials in the field. For more information on the project please refer to www.selfproject.eu
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and looking forward to meet you in the SELF - Sweden Tour.
As far as Stockholm is concerned we have an idea to make it a slightly bigger event (Marcus we need your ok for this as far as your capacity to organize it is considered, i.e. finding a venue and crowd). Its a good idea to combine the SELF speech with an overall FSFE speech and a speech about security, making it a 4 hour event instead of two like the others. We will all be there to do the event and thus get Stockholm a more informed city apart from Göteborg.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
best, Irina
