Hi everyone,
not minutes of an "official" meeting, whatever that might mean right
now. Just my sketchy notes of what Myself, Ciaran, Malcolm and Mel
discussed when we met in Benshaws for a few pints last week:
* We should press on with IFSO using a committee off 4 for
now. It doesn't seem like we're getting more volunteers in the
short term.
* We mentioned that it would be useful to talk to a lawyer or
solicitor who had some understanding of/interest in Free
Software. Ciaran thought he might know of somebody.
* What is represented at http://www.wsis-pct.org ? It looks
interesting (link via Ciaran, again).
* We should move forward with the IFSO web site ASAP.
* Related - does anybody have any talent/know anybody with any
talent who could do a logo? Malcolm suggested a GNU playing a
harp (which I must say I like, personally).
* The next official meeting will be on December 11th, and if we have
not signed the paperwork for IFSO by then we will do it at that
meeting.
* The key active issues at the moment are Euro-swpatents and the
Irish EUCD implementation. We should also be considering some work
on Free Software advocacy (as well as defence) - for instance,
trying to promote the use of Free Software in charities. There was
a sense that IFSO should be working on that as well as the
political advocacy.
Anybody want to add or correct anything?
