The Association for Free Software was the second result: http://www.affs.org.uk/ If you take a glance at the archive for this list: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fsfe-uk/ [1] you'll see conversation starting in 2001, leading to the official start of AFFS at the Sheffield Linux Seminar in 2002. Maybe someone could put some of the history up at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFFS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_For_Free_Software I might even get round to it myself one day ;-/ Cheers, - Richard [1] Download mbox file at ftp://lists.gnu.org/fsfe-uk/ _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
