Free Software as Social Innovation
On Friday "nd November I attended the London FSFE event, Free Software as a Social Innovation. I am not really a techie (though I have been Free since 1998) and certainly not in an NGO, but had asked to go because I wanted to see some ground level advocacy in action.
I had an interesting day. Feel "Free" to read on...
fsfe.org has been updated
With the help of Alejandro Serrano and Ivan Čukić a new version of fsfe.org has been put online today. The major innovation is the possibility to add content in some languages and translate existing content.
Please test it and let us know what you think. Report annoyances, bugs and suggestions. We mostly would appreciate if more people would help hack on the cms to speed up the development of this portal.

Free Software founding fathers at "La Sapienza" University
Prof. Arturo Di Corinto will moderate two speeches on the ethics and practice of free, open source software, by Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software movement, and Bruce Perens, founder of the Open Source Initiative. The event, in collaboration with Free Software Foundation Europe, the italian Associazione per il Software Libero, Linux User Group La Sapienza, Wikimedia Italia, will be an opportunity to listen to the leading actors of the evolution of free/libre software.
The raffle (and the importance of email)
The raffle of the Fellowship for 2007 is over. Did you win? We have contacted all the winners privately already and are arranging to send them the items. Remember to keep your email @fsfe.org up to date because that's our way to give you our news: go to your preferences to check if our records are correct.
Fellowship Raffle 2007, version 2
Following up on some comments received from Fellows and members of the community, FSFE changed the list of raffled items.
Portal upgraded
The portal has been upgraded this morning. You might have noticed that fsfe.org was not reachable for a while. Now the first step of this upgrade has been done. This new version of eZ Publish will allow us to publish content in different languages and easily manage translations. In the next weeks you will see more development and the new language features setup. If you wish to join the fellowship-hackers crew to help with eZ development please contact us.
Thank you for you patience and support.
E-Petition in the UK: All publicly-funded software should be released under a Free Software licence
