New Mailinglist for Free Software Topics:

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

The Free Software Foundation Europe starts a new international email list
in the German language. Everything related to Free Software is on-topic.
The list is open for everybody.

	Rationale:

Some issues are of local interested only 
regarding language and geographic boundaries. 
Only the newsgroup de.comp.gnu is know to cover Free Software
in general. Die 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 in the English
language to participate in the international forums effectively.

	Topics:

Koordiation:
	+ 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
	+ presenstations

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