Based on the discussions that we have had several times over on this
list I propose the following issues as candidates for the CMP:
I list them as IN list and OUT list, just to make sure that we know
what issues are 'explicitly' kept aside for reaching CMP.
IN list:
1. foss for learning and teaching (not only ICT but education in
general)
2. exchanging and storing digital media and documents in
free/open standards
3. accessibility (including localization, accessibility and
internationalization) of applications, media and documents.
4. availability of public funded project results in public domain
or copyleft Domain
5. resisting legislation of software patents, copyright amendment or trade
related laws that may directly affect software freedom.
6. creation of public archives of free software
7. free drivers for all marketed hardware, and work towards
free/open hardware
OUT List:
8. privacy and security
9. Digital Restrictions Management,
10. Mandating FOSS for web services and cloud computing
There was some noise in not including 5, but I strongly request all of
you to defend its inclusion, for that is the means used by the
industry in nexus with the Govt to fight against software freedom.
Let us soon arrive at a consensus on 1-7 so that we can proceed.
please suggest another name for CMP, I dont like this name.
