I will be writing a draft response for FSFE this week, and I'll do the drafting on this list.
That's good news, thanks.
We shouldn't harvest that list, but we should probably contact people and companies that we have had previous contact with. It would probably be most useful to do this when we have some example replies to show them.
It would be a nice pool ;)
But I think you are right, we should all look for personal contact. The companies may need new informations on the topic or at least a refresh.
I don't plan on making an aggregator site.
(and I agree with others that FFII's swpat news page is the best aggregator-like site.)
The news aggragation site of FFII is very well done.
I was thinking more about a platform like nosoftwarepatents was. Some central point we can direct companies looking for fresh and non tecnical information on the topic. FFII seams to be to tecnical and not adeguated for CIOs in my eyes.
Last time there was nosoftwarepatents, but the activities on it seam stopped now. We cannot use a site which content is outdated for months.
Are there any plans to create something new, reactivate nosofwarepatents or something similar?
Happy hacking! Patrick
