FSFE Kontext Zusammenfassung: Interoperabilität leidet unter MS-OOXML
by Matthias Kirschner 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hallo zusammen, gerade ging eine neue Pressemitteilung zu MS-OOXML raus: http://www.fsfeurope.org/news/2008/news-20080305-01.en.html Außerdem habe ich vorhin mitbekommen, dass ein Fellow coole MS-OOXML T-shirts, Kapuzenpullover, und Tassen gemacht hat http://www.cafepress.com/ooxmlfacts. Endlich kann man seine Meinung zu MS-OOXML all seinen Freunden und Kollegen den ganzen Tag über mitteilen ;) Viele liebe Grüße, Matthias -- Stellvertretender Deutschlandkoordinator, Fellowshipkoordinator Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) [] (http://fsfeurope.org) Treten Sie dem Fellowship bei!

Handy/PDA mit WinXP, aber austauschbar?
by Roland Häder 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Moin, der (leider) Standart auf Handys die ein OS haben - ich habe so etwas mal in der Bahn gesehen - ist ja nun leider Windows. Frage, kennt wer solch Geraete und wenn ja, gibt es wo eine Anleitung, wie man das OS auswechselt gegen einem Embedded-Linux? Grund Mobile gibt es noch? B700 und U900 scheinen Linux-Modelle zu sein.

Fwd: Handy/PDA mit WinXP, aber austauschbar?
by Roland Häder 22 Feb '08

Scheint nur fuer den PR (Page-Rank) gut zu sein. :( Auch Ebay hat so etwas nicht. Tolles Handy sieht man ueberall (100 MB reichen, soll ja ausbaufaehig sein). Naja, dann wohl doch ein 0815-Handy...

MaxDB in nächsten Version wieder proprietär
by Bernhard Reiter 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Ihr werdet es schon gehört haben: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com:443/wiki/display/MaxDB/FAQ#FAQ-Whatistherelationsh… | MaxDB versions 7.5 and 7.6.00 are available as an open source product for | several years now. These continue to stay in open source. This is | maintained and driven by an open source community. We are proud of past SAP | contributions to open source and the continued contributions of the | community to maintain it. But SAP is not making any more active | contributions to it. Weiss jemand Genaueres, warum SAP nicht mehr zur Freie Software beitragen möchte? (Bitte mit Quellen, reine Vermutungen kann ich auch aufstellen. :) ) Der nächste Absatz legt nahe, dass sie Ausgaben für Weiterentwicklung refinanzieren möchten: | Over the last two years, we have continued to evolve the SAP MaxDB | technology and have made very significant investments and innovations in | this technology. These innovations are not in open source. Thus the latest | MaxDB product is not open source. Weiss wer, ob die Freie Software Varianten der Produkte durch eine aktive Gemeinschaft weitergeführt werden. Was ja eine Abspaltung wäre...

DRM comeback und Internet Filterung
by Ingmar Redel 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Liebe Mitlesende, da auf unseren Listen hier noch nicht aufgeschlagen: die Content-Industrie macht Druck auf die EU eine Art permanente Internet-Filterung samt DRM einzurichten. Eine kurze Zusammenfassung von EDRI in Deutsch: http://www.unwatched.org/node/820 und: http://www.unwatched.org/node/792 Dieses Vorgehen legt auch bei mir den Schluss nahe die Sache unter "Menschenrechte" anzugehen. Wenn ersteinmal das Web gefiltert wird und entsprechende Strukturen aufgebaut wurden, kann auch alles andere gefiltert werden - unabhängig davon das DRM misst ist. Weitere Informationen in English von Cristof, Andre und Erik unten in Ausschnitten. Ist die FSFE und das Netzwerk Freie Wissen schon in dem Prozess dabei? Wenn nicht, wäre ich sehr, sehr, sehr dafür!!! Liebe Grüße Ingmar -------- Original Message -------- English: http://www.edri.org/edrigram/number6.1/creative-content-online and http://www.edri.org/edrigram/number5.24/creative-content The CULT-Amendments will be adopted for the 18 February session. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/file.jsp?id=5498632 Usually tabling deadline for plenary is Wednesday before at 6. 13 Feb. Before that, it is possible to work on details, see below at the end of this mail. Regards, Ricardo Cristof P.S.: Following is a mix of different mails from the ad-hoc-working group, we founded at the 24c3. We will have a follow-up-meeting at 22/23 February in Brussels. -------- Original Message -------- AndrÃ© Rebentisch wrote: > > p.cohet wrote: >> >> >> >> What can be done 'undeground' or stealthier at the PE level according >> >> to you? > > > > Prepare some amendments for the plenary and convince a group to table > > them or at least ask them what is going on, shift the debate away from > > internet filtering stuff, make it human rights, creative people. I agree with AndrÃ© that something we can do is to "ask them what is going on". But that requires that we read up on what is public first. I paste "another Bono" below, the GraÃ§a Moura Report: "European agenda for culture in a globalising world". 27/02/2008 EP: report scheduled for adoption in committee, 1st or single reading 10/04/2008 EP: probable part-session scheduled by the DG of the Presidency, 1st reading 21/05/2008 Council: resolution expected But I'd also say that it is only after you have shown you know a file quite well (e.g. the Bono report), your offer to help to draft amendments will be accepted. There are a number of ways MEP assistants can pass on, or not pass on, your offer. It's their job to be a spam filter and message counter. //Erik Here's the file (MediaWiki-format): OEIL overview: [http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/file.jsp?id=5532002 European agenda for culture in a globalising world] ---- Accessible documents per 20070124 (with IPR sensitive excerpts): Committee on Regional Development http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2004_2009/organes/regi/regi_20080122… nothing: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2004_2009/documents/pa/692/692020/69… nothing: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2004_2009/documents/am/697/697599/69… page 6: (e.g. the Digital Libraries Initiative which aims at making Europe's diverse cultural and scientific heritage easier to access online) or research (with the Research Framework Programmes).

Let's hope the best for the plenary but I guess it will just sneak through. This is the way to get on a progressive road and it is all low effort. The average old industry lobbyist is nuts and inefficient but often he is the only one who lobbies at all! //AndrS
