Please fix the encoding. UTF-8 is preferable. Whatever you > choose, make sure the XML declaration is correct. as far as I can tell, the non-ASCII characters in this file are completely broken, I didn't find an encoding in which they would display correct. I think this really requires a Swedish speaker to fix. Thanks, Reinhard

[Sweden] Fwd: AVM GNU GPL court reasoning - background

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: AVM GNU GPL court reasoning - background Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2011 18:09:53 +0100 From: Matthias Kirschner <mk(a)fsfe.org> To: team-reports(a)fsfeurope.org, germany(a)fsfeurope.org We published press release last week http://fsfe.org/news/2011/news-20111201-02.en.html about "Verdict in the case of AVM vs. Cybits confirmed the view of FSFE". For your background, we and our lawyers are not happy with the quality of the verdict <http://www.ifross.org/sites/default/files/LG%20Berlin%20AVM%20v%20Cybits_0.…>. The copyright part (p 19ff) is dubious, there is a sentence "the infection of a collective work when using Open Source software in parts of it..." (p 20) which is bad when read by companies, and the whole part about collective works is strange. We did not react on this until know because we do not yet know how the court case will continue. It is possible that AVM will appeal the decision, and it might backfire if we comment now. In about one month we know more. -- Matthias Kirschner - FSFE - Fellowship Coordinator, German Coordinator FSFE, Linienstr. 141, 10115 Berlin, t +49-30-27595290 +49-1577-1780003 Free Software is important to you?

[Sweden] Fwd: Report about local Fellowship activities
by Henrik Sandklef 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Report about local Fellowship activities Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2011 14:22:20 +0100 From: Matthias Kirschner <mk(a)fsfe.org> To: team-reports(a)fsfeurope.org, germany(a)fsfeurope.org Here the news from local groups (please inform me, when I forgot something). The short version: We have to visit local Fellowship groups and give talks about our work there to get them motivated. This will pay off, and I will invest more time in it. Beside that; good news, we have the highest Fellowship number ever: 944 Fellows! Soon we will be able to accept recurring and monthly Fellowship donations, which will reduce the dropout rate. - Gotenburg: The Fellows there were active in the FSCONS planing, helped to have an amazing conference (FSCONS report will come soon), and three Fellows participated in our PDFreaders sprint. I will visit the Fellowship group in January for Gnutiken's birthday so I can talk with Fellows in more relaxed time than FSCONS. - Berlin: Christof didn't have a lot of time, and Torsten's time for the group coordination was also reduced due to him becoming Deputy German coordinator and writing his thesis. Now Alexander Kahl took over the group coordination, after he already did the minutes and announced the meetings for a longer time. - Hannover: A new Fellow Rosso was quite motivated to organise a booth at next years Cebit. I had several phone calls with him, and a meeting in Hamburg. We were lucky as in this time some new Fellows in this area registered whom he directly recruited. He now has a team of 8 people willing to make this booth happen. - Hamburg: Dominic Hopf and Eike Rathke are doing good job here. At the beginning it was quite difficult, because they were often alone. They had the patience to continue. Now they sometimes have 12 people attending. Amongst them a lot of old OpenOffice.org programmers. Some of them now working for Redhat (Eike), some of them for Cannoncial (Bjoern Michaelsen), one of them the former guy who organised the Gnome Booths in Germany. I visited them this month. Only six participants this time, but it was good to talk about upcoming activities, and I am planing to visit them about every 3 months (2 hours with the train). - Leipzig: Thomas Jensch started the activities again. I visited them this week. We had about 12 people attending my talk about PDFreaders. Several of them never attended a Fellowship meeting before. Afterwards I gave an overview of other FSFE activities and how they can participate. Good foundation for future Fellowship activities. Thomas will continue the activities there, and I plan to visit them about every 3 months (2 hours with the train). - Estonia: We have a new Fellow Heiki "Repentinus" Ojasild in Estinia who is quite motivated. I spent some time to give him feedback and motivate to continue his good work. See more in his blog entry "Estonian translations: personal experience and an appeal for co-translators" [1] - Vienna: This group is active. They work on activities on their own. Nevertheless I will visit them in January or February to give them feedback. - Düsseldorf: Michael Stehmann is coordinating the group there. Blog entry about every meeting, and beside that the group together with Michael Kesper organised our Open Rhein Ruhr booth. See [2] for some nice pictures. Waiting for an "we want to have a talk from you" invitation so I can go there ;) 1. http://blogs.fsfe.org/repentinus/english/2011/11/15/estonian-translations-p… 2. http://blogs.fsfe.org/stehmann/?p=359 -- Matthias Kirschner - FSFE - Fellowship Coordinator, German Coordinator FSFE, Linienstr. 141, 10115 Berlin, t +49-30-27595290 +49-1577-1780003 Free Software is important to you?

[Sweden] Fwd: PDFreaders - Success story continues during FSCONS sprint

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: PDFreaders - Success story continues during FSCONS sprint Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:16:46 +0100 From: Matthias Kirschner <mk(a)fsfe.org> To: team-reports(a)fsfeurope.org, germany(a)fsfeurope.org CC: pdfreaders(a)lists.fsfe.org At FSCONS we held the second PDFreaders sprint after the one in the UK. Sam organised the sprint. We had 10 participants at the workshop, checked several websites from our buglist, translated form letter <http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/letter.en.html>, and petition <http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/petition.en.html> into Swedish. The talk by Matthias was well received at FSCONS. Many people like this campaign, because it is very easy to participate. Volunteers report us proudly when they achieved another bug fix. Until now 511 out of 2081 (24%) reported public websites have fixed this bug https://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/buglist.en.html. 58 organisations, 56 businesses, and 1938 individuals have signed the petition https://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/petition.en.html. Next steps: - Wait until our questions are asked in the European Parliament and the Belgium Parliament. - Get the questions asked in other Parliaments as well - Continue to follow-up (Michael Voigt and Guido Arnold started this for Germany now, and already convinced another ministry) - Submit PDFreaders talk to other conferences - Make it clear, that you can also contact companies about it, not just public administrations. -- Matthias Kirschner - FSFE - Fellowship Coordinator, German Coordinator FSFE, Linienstr. 141, 10115 Berlin, t +49-30-27595290 +49-1577-1780003 Free Software is important to you?

[Sweden] Fwd: Wall Street Journal on YaCy
by Henrik Sandklef 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Wall Street Journal on YaCy Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:12:44 +0100 From: Karsten Gerloff <gerloff(a)fsfeurope.org> Reply-To: Karsten Gerloff <gerloff(a)fsfeurope.org> To: team(a)fsfeurope.org CC: mc(a)yacy.net Hi, it's been an exciting couple of days. Monday's YaCy PR went off like a rocket. We got lots of coverage, Alessandro has a collection of links over here: http://blogs.fsfe.org/alessandro.polvani/ The high-water mark in terms of coverage so far is probably the Wall Street Journal's tech blog: http://blogs.wsj.com/tech-europe/2011/11/30/new-open-source-search-not-a-go… Which is actually a rather good article, as it dampens some of the excitement over YaCy as a "Google killer". The WSJ article is based on an article by Web Pro News http://www.webpronews.com/follow-up-gerloff-chimes-in-on-yacy-2011-11 which mainly consists of a mail I sent to one of their writers yesterday evening. Best regards, Karsten
