[Fsfe-nordic] Rebooting FSFE's Nordic activities

[Jonas Oberg]

Hi everyone,

and first of all a good thank you to Joonas, Petri, Alexander, Daniel
and Oscar for your encouragement and offer for ideas and help!

First a note about communication: my feeling is that if possible, we
can try to keep as much as possible of our discussions on the
general fsfe-nordic list. We're few enough that splitting us into
fsfe-{fi,se,dk,no,is,fo} doesn't feel useful :)

Right now there are 13 people subscribed to fsfe-nordic and from the first
emails it seems we might be around 5-6 who more actively want to support
this, which is a great size for a team!

Would someone like to coordinate some IRC chats? We could use the #fsfe
channel, and it doesn't need to be very elaborate: but someone needs to
send invitations, update the wiki, and post a few lines to the list
afterwards with the main points discussed.

I would then propose we first think of the Nordic Free Software Award. I
can volunteer to write up something about it for us to start from, based
on when we awarded it last (ca 2007-2012 or so). We can try to get some
sponsors for it, but we can also ask the FSFE for some funding for this
which we might need to at least cover the travel costs for the award winner
to wherever we decide to award it :)
