There also will be a "Parlamentarischer Abend", some kind of Informational event for german Potiticians of the Bundestag this Wednesday. Holger Blasum, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and Hartmut Pilch, [EMAIL PROTECTED], will be the right people to get in contact. There are also some guys of ATTAC Wissensalmende, a ATTAC group working on property rights, who will be in Br�ssel too. Oliver Moldenhauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], may give further Informations about planned events. Sven Kromminga and me (Volunteers of FSF Europe in Germany) are in contact with some people of the lower saxony greens and the lower saxony SPD (social democratic party). We are planning a seminar on the social and political aspects of Free Software for lower sxonian politicians of the green party during CeBIT fair at Hannover. Bye, Thomas
