the invited politicians are: Maurice Williamson - National Party Nandor Tanczos - Greens David Cunliffe - IT Minister, Labour Rodney Hide, Kenneth Wang - Act Turiana Turia - NZ Maori Party Brent Catchpole - NZ First Bernie Ogilvy - United Future
and I believe that almost all if not all of them will be making a presentation.
This is from Peter Harrison of the NZ Open Source Society: <Peter's message> The NZOSS has arranged for an event on the 1st of June that will involve representatives from most if not all political parties in New Zealand. The event will be in Wellington, at Bowen House at 3pm. The event will primarily address whether the political parties support software patents, and if so what restrictions they would place on software patents. <snip> Finally, if you would like to attend the event in Wellington I will need your name and address for security purposes, as the event is on Parliament grounds.
This has taken quite a bit of effort to put together, so I would really appreciate people taking the time out to attend and support the cause. </Peter's message>
If you wish to attend, send a message to: peterha<at>nzoss.org.nz (remove munging)
