Hello Chris,

I guess this would be a great idea. A political party is not exactly what we want (i know java but not how to care about how to increase common wealth)- but a organisation who talks directly to the politicans and organizes political protest could be exactly what Free Software needs.
This organisation already exists :) The FSFE is doing this since the beginning.
If we would have an organisation (some kind of club, german word would be "verein") which focusses on poltic- great.
That's exactly why Fellowship [1] was started. Please read the announcement of the Fellowship [2]. The Fellowship is IMHO the best place for people who care about those issues.
BTW there is some organisation which is doing exactly this in germany. I forgot the name, but you have to pay >1000 Euro to participate.
The Fellowship costs 120 EUR / 60 EUR reduced (for students etc.).
PS: how can i contribute this mailinglist without sending my post first to the moderator? i subscribed, but it seems i have no direct write access.
I'll sent you an PM about that.
Best wishes, Matze
