IFSO response to copyright consultation
by Teresa Hackett 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

There have been no substantive comments on the draft IFSO response to the Commission copyright consultation. As this needs list input, the response is incomplete and cannot be sent. This is an important consultation that will have its effects over the next years as the Commission makes proposals to various directives. The alternative could be for IFSO to sign up to the EDRi response (call for endorsement below), although the scope is wider http://www.edri.org/campaigns/copyright. Should anyone else wish to complete and submit the IFSO response (deadline 31.10.2004), I will keep the wiki page in place until Monday. Teresa ---------- EDRi Call for Endorsement: EU Consultation on Copyright Review European Digital Rights <www.edri.org>, the Foundation for Information Policy Research <www.fipr.org>, and Vereniging Open-source Nederland <www.vosn.nl> have developed a joint response <www.edri.org/campaigns/copyright/review> to the EU Commission consultation on the review of the EU 'acquis communautaire' in the field of copyright and related rights. If your organisation wishes to endorse this response, please write an e-mail indicating the organisation's name, your first and second name and position within the organisation, along with your e-mail address for verification, to brussels(a)edri.org. This Consultation ends on October 31, so please make sure to send your endorsements at the very latest on that day at noon! Full text of the response at www.edri.org/campaigns/copyright More info on the European Commission's consultation at europa.eu.int/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/04/955&language=EN&g uiLanguage=en ----------

Fwd: Wikimedia meetup 2005
by Malcolm Tyrrell 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hi all. The IFSO committee has been asked if they'd be willing to support Dublin's bid for the Wikimedia conference next summer; see attached message. This is certainly not something we could agree to unless there were firm commitments from several people to take on the project. If any of you are willing to do so, get in touch. The deadline for the decision is Sunday, so we'd have to reply sometime before that. Good luck, Malcohol. _________________________________________________________________ Sign up for eircom broadband now and get a free two month trial.* Phone 1850 73 00 73 or visit http://home.eircom.net/broadbandoffer

companies against software patents
by jm＠jmason.org 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Hi all -- FYI, it might be worth making it clear that companies who don't *approve* of patenting (but may even have patents of their own) can be listed -- if this is the case. I'd differentiate this since I'm repeatedly hearing comments to this effect from various companies -- "we hate swpats, but we have to file them as a defensive measure." --j.
