If you could be in Brussels between 8am and 9:30am tomorrow (Thursday 5th), please contact ciaran[at]fsf.org (GSM: +32 487 64 17 54).
EndSoftwarePatents.org will be launching the "Economic Parasites" campaign and our first action will be to inform the attendees of Microsoft's "Growth and Innovation Day". Help is needed to hand out leaflets outside the entrance before this event. Since this is very short notice, if you know someone else who might be happy to help us, please forward them this email. Microsoft attacked free software and GNU/Linux users with software patent claims against the Tom Tom Navigator and its implementation of the FAT file system. With widespread support for GNU/Linux becoming a reality, are these patent claims an attempt to chill adoption by spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD)? Let's remind businesses and politicians in Brussels that Microsoft is a parasite. EndSoftwarePatents is made possible by donations: http://endsoftwarepatents.org/donate And its effectiveness depends on people being aware, and helping: http://campaigns.fsf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/esp-action-alert Ciarán O'Riordan, Director, EndSoftwarePatents ciaran[at]fsf.org GSM: +32 487 64 17 54 _______________________________________________ info-fsf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-fsf
