New Mailinglist for Free Software Topics:

	http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-de

The Free Software Foundation Europe is starting a new international mailing
list in German. Everything related to Free Software is on-topic.
The list is open for everybody.

	Rationale:

Some issues are of local interest only 
due language and geographic limitations.
de.comp.gnu is the only news group known to cover Free Software
in general. German speaking members of FSFE and FFS 
(Verein zur Förderung Freier Software, Austria)
are writing on the list. 
Another reason is that not everybody is confident enough in the 
English language to participate in the international forums effectively.

	Topics:

coordination:
	+ of the activities of the FSFE Chapter Germany
	+ of the activities of the FFS in Austria
	+ with other Organisations
	+ in regions and countries where German is spoken

Information in German:
	+ Articles	
	+ Webpages
	+ Localisation projects
	+ presentations

Questions to all areas of Free Software
	+ e.g. Licensing in DE and AT
