Hi,
I'm a software consultant (web developer) in the UK, and long-time free software fan. I'm not quite clear on what FSF Europe will be doing exactly, but if it can improve communication among free software supporters/developers here that will be a good thing.
I think there is a need for networks which can promote the idea of free software by supporting free software development. The 'Linux User Groups' in the UK are good for local activities but are not really organized to go beyond this.
A national network could be useful -- for example, so that students working on free software could find summer jobs in the free software world, or to bring together people interested in starting free software related enterprises.
regards Brian Gough
