The EU is consulting on cloud computing until 31 August at
http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=cloudcomputing&lang=en

Cloud computing could be a great opportunity for free software, with
potential for more users to take control of their computing
infrastructure; but it could also be a great threat, which may make
users even more vulnerable to proprietary lock-in at either server or
service level.

Have you answered this consultation?  If so, anything you'd like to
point out to other free software supporters before we undermine you? ;)

Thanks,
