Hi everyone,
it has been a little quiet on this list regarding actual FSF Europe work. The FSF Europe started working officially on March 10th, 2001, but a lot of things (paperwork not being the least time-consuming part) needed to be done and things look very good right now. We're almost there that "normal" work can begin and then you should hear a lot more on this list.
In fact I taking up normal work is the reason for this mail. The FSF Europe plans to present itself to the press and the "non-community" world on the LinuxTag 2001 in Germany (http://www.linuxtag.org/) and the organization is donating a normal-sized booth there for the FSF Europe.
But a booth requires work and (extremely important) volunteers to man this booth, because nothing looks worse than an empty booth. So we are looking for volunteers willing to man the FSF Europe booth during the LinuxTag 2001. The perfect case would be to have 2-3 people there at all time and if you want to help the FSF Europe, this would be a good place to start.
We are very glad that Matthias Borges emhabe@web.de has volunteered to coordinate the booth and the volunteers and everyone interested in participating should contact mailto:emhabe@web.de.
I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend,
regards, Georg Greve Free Software Foundation Europe

Me and 3 other Persons from Salzburg will be at the Linuxtag for two days. At the moment, i can only speek for myself, but you can count on me at least for one day - Saturday?
I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend,
You too - all of you ;-)

Essentially bad coordination on part of the organizators. The LinuxTag has been around that time for four or five years now and they say that noone contacted them for coordination with the LSM. But also they apparently didn't do anything to coordinate with the LSM themselves.
This is really bad and shouldn't happen again, I agree.
The FSF Europe will split itself between the events (member-wise) and be present at both.
Regards, Georg

We coordinated with the date for the Debian Meeting held at LSM though...

Best would be to move LSM away from summer, LinuxTag has some constraints so it can't move. I guess LSM has also some constraints though.

Should be no problem, should it?
