i agree that this list is a good as place for doing something as
anywhere - as for the 'irish perspective' bit, sure ... but the point as
to be to internationalise this action rather than confine it to state or
land boundaries

snap, but i bet like me you're on quite a few lists that have
overlapping interests to this particular group - i think the task at
hand is to find a way of working with these groups more closely
the obvious example is [fsfe-uk] - i know ciaran cross fertilises this
list when ever he gets the chance - it would be good to co-ordinate our
efforts on one list
also, i've been making people here
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/ aware of what's been
happening in the anti-patent debate - they (we) are very interested in
producing an article in support of this work - my guess is that the
such a story would be adopted by the main uk site and perhaps the main
parent site thereafter - mainstreaming our activity has to be a key
issue - to me IMC seems the logical place for this given their strong
links with FLOSS and their organational aims
