As some of you may know, Mark Lamers recently stepped down as coordinator for the FSFE-fellows in the lowlands. I've taken it upon me to replace him as coordinator. I've discussed this with Mark and in the past couple of weeks there have been some fellowship meetings at T-Dose and the NLUUG conference where this has been discussed with the fellows that were present at these venues. So far all agree with this, so I would like to ask you all to let me be the coordinator until someone else wants to take over the role. At that time we can hold a vote if necessary. For those who do not know me: I'm Maurice, 30 years old and I work for a company called AT Computing. I've been working with free software for years now. My master thesis research looked into how (Dutch) government organisations "buy" free software -> (just search for "How to buy something that is free?"). Fellowship meetings: At the moment I'm organizing a fellowship meeting in Nijmegen or Arnhem somewhere in december. This will be a joint meeting with other software freedom advocates and probably some fellows from the Dusseldorf fellowship-group. If you like the idea please reply to this mail, than I get a sense of how many fellows will attend. If anyone has suggestion about the meetup please let me know! The next meeting after that is probably gonna be the Fosdem 2013! Kind regards, Maurice -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In the meantime I'm calling it quits with volunteering for FSFE. I have put quite some time into FSFE the last couple of years: translating pages on the website, newsletters, helping out with the PDFreaders campaign, sending out letters, helping to spread awareness of FSFE in NL, and looking into Dutch and Belgian tax laws to try to achieve tax deductible donations. I really like FSFE and adore its goals, but personally I don't like the idea that you have to stand on the sideline if you can't make it to live-meetings easily. I have asked multiple times for the mailing list to be our central hub of communication and decision making, or at least to be kept in the loop, just like how it usually works in Free Software projects, but unfortunately this is not the way things work here. The first news on the meeting at T-Dose reaching the mailing list two weeks after the fact merely supports this. Anyway, I'm not aggrieved or anything, I can understand this is the way the cookie crumbles, especially when a group like ours make up such a small geographical area. Accepting this fact, I think that's it's better to spend my time elsewhere in the world of FLOSS. I wish you all the best of luck.

I get the feeling you that you feel kept out of the loop. Seeing the low traffic on the maillinglist and considering that this is your only connection to the fellows, I can understand that feeling, although it is not the case. irl i've met maybe 3 or 4 other fellows so far. So I actually agree with you that the maillinglist should be used more. One of the things we should all try to improve. I for one hope to inspire more people to become active and share their activities and thoughts here. Therefore I hope that this future increase in traffic might seduce you to put in your effort once more!

I have to comment that and I do disagree. In my eyes, personal meetings are important, but not essential. Noone has to stand on the sideline. Is there a sideline, btw? ;-) > I have asked multiple times for the mailing > list to be our central hub of communication and decision making, ...which is absolutely fine. Noone disagreed with that principle. > or at least to be kept in the loop, Ehm... There was simply no "loop", beside my recommendation to discuss the followership of Mark face-to-face. Noone disgreed as well. That was all. And in my eyes, in this case that was better. But for sure, it was clear, that the outcome of that chats should be discussed here to get the blessing of all others. > just like how it usually works in > Free Software projects, but unfortunately this is not the way things > work here. There seems to be a misunderstanding: There are no "things". It is the same trap Maurice hitted some days ago: If you read no communication about $whatever, that does _not_ mean, that you are out of the loop. There was simply no loop, no communication, no "things". ;-) > The first news on the meeting at T-Dose reaching the > mailing list two weeks after the fact merely supports this. This is true. The reason is simply: Maurive is doing his daily work as well, and had some qestions before introducing himself here. I didn't done that, because I felt it is better style when Maurice is doing this by himself. Two weeks is not optimal, but hey, _this_ is the way "things" are running here. ;-) > Anyway,I'm not aggrieved or anything, This is fine and I am happy about that! > I can understand this is the way the cookie crumbles, There is that misunderstanding again: There is no cookie, and therefore no crumbling.

For sure, I accept your decision, but if the reason is just the a.m. one, your decision is most likely based on a misunderstanding. > I wish you all the best of luck. Same to you, anyway! ;-) Just a word about personal meetings: When a bunch of people do not know each other, they _can_ coordinate their work via mailing lists and other similar channels. According to my experience it is far easier, when they have seen themselves one or two times. Communication is far easier when I know with whome I do type. Building trust is easier. Understanding irony is easier. Motivating others to get active is easier. A.s.o. That's why I try to bring people together, whenever there is chance to do so. That should _not_ reduce other ways of communication, but intensify those ways. Noone should stand aside, who can't make it to any meetings, events, $whatever. As I should assist all of you, I am even willing and able to pass by and visit friends! Yes, that helps as well. We should use all communication channels we have, when they are useful. This includes real life and VoA[1]. At least, at FOSDEM, the big "family event", there should be the chance to chat. Let's take it! ;-) Groeten Rainer, who still feels ashamed not be able to write nederlands. [1] VoA = "Voice over air", an outdated protocol which is meanwhile used only outside the internet.

So to summarize what you said: there is no sideline, no loop, no "things", no communication and of course there's no such thing as a cookie. You forgot to mention that there is no spoon, but that would have overdone it :-) Anyway, I understand that you mean well and all, but seriously I don't think you really caught my drift. I'm all for personal meetings. I know quite a few things about social psychology and group dynamics and meetings in person can be the gaffer tape that holds groups together. So by all means, meet as much as possible. The one thing I have a slight issue with is the fact that for me, a mostly digital and virtual fellow (heck, I might not even exist really), there seem to be quite a few decisions regarding the dutch fellowship that "pop" out of nowhere. For all I care you may have visited a black box that was suspended in time until a gryphon flew you back to this plain of existence, including conclusions, resolutions, prearrangements, results, and of course agreements :). There were quite a few decisions on what the fellowship should do in NL that were made during conferences (T-Dose, NLUUG, Fosdem) or other places that do not include this mailing list. It's not that I disagree with decisions that were made, or think that there was poor judgement. - I for example think it's a great idea to make Maurice coordinator. After he joined the fellowship early 2011 he's proven to give great input. - But what I miss is transparency, clear communication and I know that it's this lack of communication that has been brought up before, not only by me, but also on a broader scale in the FSFE, for example by you on the coordinators mailing list in Februari this year. There's of course no deliberate sidelines or anything, people aren't "out of the loop" on purpose as - like you said - there's no such thing as a loop. There's just coincidental meetings of persons, exchange of thoughts and resulting conclusions. I know there's no real system behind this and what I proposed was to maybe try to tidy the communication a bit up, using the mailing list for decision making, planning of which routes we should take. We might wake up some fellows on the list and get them enthusiastic. Jelle ps: I don't care that it takes two weeks for a message to reach to mailing list, it is what precedes such messages and summaries that counts for me.

As I was watching a TED talk on TED.com where someone released his invented machine as open hardware and software, it got me thinking. There are several speakers that discuss open hardware and software and the crowd might be an ideal group to promote FOSS to. I haven't been to the last TED event in Amsterdam, so I don't know if the FSFE organisation had a stand there, but this might be a really good crowd. Especially since the NLUUG and T-Dose meetings are mostly like preaching to the choir. The curious TED crowd might just be tech-savvy enough to be persuaded to give a lot of FOSS software a go. Also having a crowd that has all sorts of different backgrounds might be another plus. A bigger chance that different groups might start understanding, caring or even using Open Source. The next TED event in Amsterdam (biggest in the Netherlands) is on the 30th of November. I have not contacted them (yet), but I do wonder if we could at least flyer near the entrance. If I remember correctly, someone in the organisation is a Linux engineer, but even if I am mistaken the FSFE seems like the kind of organisation they'd be open to. Anyways, what do you think? Good idea?

Good idea? > > Yes good idea. Problem is that due to the short notice and all the appointments for work I have on that day, I will be unable to attend. Although I actually would really like to hear/see the talks myself ;) However I could arrange for flyers, either via Rainer (or maybe help translating/make them and getting those to the right people). Otherwise the next TED talk in AMS I can arrange for a day off work. Can anybody make some time to flyer the 30th november (given we can get permission)? Am I correct that you had the idea last year to do something in AMS on Liberation Day? That's also a great idea and it would be nice to arrange to flyer or have a booth somehow somewhere in AMS on that day.

It might also be a good idea to take a look at TEDx Eutropolis. They are familiar with us, because Karsten Gerloff did an excellent talk for them in Heerlen in 2010: Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNhlOlGInHE Torrent: http://download.fsfe.org/torrents/TEDxEutropolis-Karsten_Gerloff-Power_and_Freedom.ogv.torrent My wife did a mini talk at TEDx Amsterdam a while ago and from what I hear the audience consists of mostly corporate suits, so that's quite a leap from the typical freedom beards, which could prove useful.
