Hi All,
I just thought I'd give you all an update on our project. This email is for informative purposes only so please ignore it if you are super busy.
We have launched our Swedish youth project called "Forge". Forge is a project that empowers young people within their local society. Using the Forge young people create their own Internet based activity networks within which they join groups, share ideas and find stuff to do.
You can find out more here -> http://www.forge.nu/
Of course we are without telling anyone introducing Swedish youth to Free software. Feel free to post the link, tell youth about it, fly post it, talk about it on TV or promote it in anyway you like;) I would like to get it "out there" for youth over their Christmas holidays.
Barnraiser has a new product called "Igloo". Igloo is the perfect (my words:) solution for mutual interest (MIG) and special interest (SIG) groups and membership based organisations wishing to create a knowledge network around their interests. There has been some discussions about a FSF business network. I'd like to offer Igloo as a possible solution for that.
Lastly I managed to promote FS and no-patents on the BBC's talking point program last Sunday. It goes to many millions of people in developing countries. You can listen to it at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/talking_point_programme/default.stm (look for "play video by Can the digital divide be bridged?"). Apologies - it's only available in Real networks player.
As Henrik mentioned; I'll be in Gothenburg on the weekend of the 7th January and it would be nice to meet up with any FS folk down there.
More news soon.
