Hello all, The Free Software Pact: Bringing Free Software to European Parliament. http://freesoftwarepact.eu/
Free Software advocacy associations April (the main French advocacy association devoted to promote and protect Free/Libre Software) and "Associazione per il software libero" (Italy) have launched a joint campaign aimed at the European Parliament elections in early June 2009. The campaign invites citizens to ask candidates to sign the "Free Software Pact". What about India???
