Hi Folks,
I also thought today that even the Schools for IT should position in
this discussion... I will try to reach the BBW Winterthur which I am a
student of (and some apprentices of members of this mailinglist, too
btw)
I will also try to reach the TBZ in this purpose....
I think we should try to collect organisations which will work
together, I can also speak for Gnupingu and the Lug Kreuzlingen

Instead of educating politicians it would make more sense, if the IT
people would be more involved in politics. The IT industry is doing
more
for the GDI (BIP) than the farmers, but unfortunately we are not
organized.
We also have no means to deliver kilo-gallons of slurry to the
front-door of the parliament ;-)
Also, farmers have much more means to apply pressure to the public -
it's not easy to replace their goods & services on short-notice and
they
are mostly self-employed.
Our work has been commoditized to the point where we are replaceable
almost immediately - and most of us are employees. Those who are not
are
replaceable even easier....
And all the heavy-lifting of the infrastructure is done by big
corporations that never go on strike or deny service to their
customers
(which is the usual way pressure groups like garbage-men and farmers
get
their agenda through).
A part of reality is also, of course, that most of what we do is not
really essential - superfluous luxury so to speak.
People need food, water, shelter (and garbage-collection). People can
survive without email (though we work hard to convince them
otherwise) ;-)
