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:
