Hi, A week ago I sent a mail (in french) to Unesco people listed
on the page http://www.unesco.org/webworld/portal_freesoft/ you mentionned in your mail (12 July). I got no reply at all. I also tried to call them but they were too busy.
Nice to hear that someone has made something about that.
I turns out that the guy who actually wrote the content of the
pages (Stephane Fermigier) is well know to have a "pragmatic" attitude and is a proeminent advocate of Open Source altough is pretends this is the same as Free Software. Therefore the content of the web site was not much of a surprise.
I'm not exactly sure what else we can do at present. We cannot
force people, we can only talk to them if they want to. And apparently Unesco is not willing to hear from us at present.
Well, Unesco is a department of the united nation, if the direct responsible person does not want to hear at our question, we may ask the Unesco if this is really the Unesco vision, and above that if it is also the United Nation vision. It is only a matter to find someone above Stephane Fermigier to deal with. (I'm not saying this is easy, just the thing to do.)
bye, Simo.
