For Finland, Timo Juhani Lindfors (lindi@fsfe.org) from Helsinki offered he could help with organising a group. Martin von Willebrand (willebra@fsfe.org) also from Helsinki said he would like to get in contact with a group coordinator to participate in meetings.
I know both of them personally. Martin sits with me and Henri in the COSS steering group, and has founded (I think) Validos http://www.validos.org/en which offers among else legal support for companies. Good to mention him/Validos also now. Take a look at their web page.
lindi is an active member of #vapaakoodi @ Freenode and also Otto met him at Finhack (http://finhack.org/) where we discussed FSFE Finland. He is involved at least in Openmoko and Debian from where I know him.
Can you please contact them and sent me a short feedback?
I guess I won't jump in if Otto happens to be already contacting them.
Oh, and btw. it would be good if you can announce the Finnish Fellowship meetings on http://www.fsfe.org/events/, too. I can sent you a short howto for writing event entries.
Thanks, could be useful.
