Hej!
Jag har i många år arbetat med webbdesign och tror att jag skulle kunna
tillföra någonting med mina kunskaper på det området. Vidare kan jag
översätta texter till/från svenska/engelska.
Om detta brev är opassande till den här listan ber jag så mycket om
ursäkt. Tack!

GPLv3 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE DETAILS ONLINE
BARCELONA, CATALONIA - SPAIN, JUNE 22nd & 23rd
Marking the half-way point of the year-long public consultation process for
redrafting Free Software's cornerstone licence, the third international
GPLv3 conference will host experts from Europe and from around the world.
The venue, in the heart of the city, is the Centre de Cultura Contemporània
de Barcelona (CCCB). There, during the two days of this event, there will
be presentations from experts including Richard Stallman, president of
FSF, Eben Moglen, chairman of Software Freedom Law Center, Georg Greve,
president of FSF Europe and Harald Welte, founder of gpl-violations.org.
By far the most widely used Free Software licence, the GNU General Public
License (aka, "the GPL") ensures that everyone who receives GPL'd software
is able to use it as they wish, to modify to fit their needs, and to
distribute modified or unmodified copies.
"People sometimes have the feeling that GNU GPL has been around forever,
and they would not be entirely wrong. Published in 1991, the GNU GPL has
proven to be exceptionally successful throughout the past fifteen years,"
says Greve. "With such an exceptional success, one will change as little as
possible. But there are changes in the legal and technical environment, as
well as the position of Free Software and its community, that made some
changes advisable. The process to update the licence is aiming at a global
GPLv3 drafting team, and everyone is invited to participate: Joining the
conferences is one of the best ways of doing so."
Harald Welte emphasises the threat caused by Digital Restriction Management
(DRM) to Free Software: "It has always been clear that using DRM to
restrict users is in conflict with the spirit of the GPL. As a copyright
holder of some GPL'd software, I have already successfully enforced this
out of court with GPL version two. The new DRM language proposed for GPLv3
is more solid and will make this enforcement easier. When enforcement is
easy, people are less likely to violate the licence in the first place, so
the Free Software can continue to focus on software development rather than
policing licence violations."
All presentations will be made in English, with the only exception of one
which will be in Spanish. Translation to Spanish will be provided for the
entire conference, and translation to English will be provided for the
Spanish talk.
There is no fee for the conference, but registration is required to
guarantee a place. Attendees are asked to email
oriordan(a)fsfeurope.org
with "GPLv3 registration" in the subject of the email.
The Conference's schedule and further information will be published
soon at http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/europe-gplv3-conference
About the Free Software Foundation Europe
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSF Europe) is a charitable
non-governmental organisation dedicated to all aspects of Free
Software in Europe. Access to software determines who may participate
in a digital society. Therefore the freedoms to use, copy, modify and
redistribute software - as described in the Free Software definition -
allow equal participation in the information age. Creating awareness
of these issues, securing Free Software politically and legally, and
giving people freedom by supporting development of Free Software are
central issues of the FSF Europe, which was founded in 2001 as the
European sister organisation of the Free Software Foundation in the
United States.
