Let me to introduce my self as I havn't done this yet.
I'm Onno Timmerman native tongue is dutch. Due my dyslexia you will see some strange errors. Yet I think for best communication we should use english.
I'm currently employed for the Flemisch socialistic party sp.a of Belgium as an It-philosopher. Practical that means I'm going promoting the free software philosophy for the parlementarian of the flemisch, federeal, european parlmenterians of the sp.a. In fact I'm writing this in parlement because we asking questions right now.
I hope to have as much support as possible because I don't know everything. So if somebody has things I should let ask in parlement please say me so.
I'm currently busy with the software patent isseu wich is an awfull thing. Also am starting a file on palladium - education - internel market adventages of Free Software. - promoting GNU/Linux for use in goverment and my party ...
Give me luck!

Very good luck! If you can only do one thing, then please, please ensure that as many people in your political acquaintance realise the true horrors of software patents, the EU Copyright Directive and so on. These are issues which (non-corrupt) politicians can make mileage from, as long as they are educated and realise the perils these corporate-funded laws bring forth.

Where do you get them ?
Well, one is apparently subscribed to this list, for a start.
Sorry, I wasn't writing this for Onno, this would have been insulting.
He said he was "employed" by the party in question, which doesn't mean that he shares this party's views (although he probably does), or that he is a member of it (although he probably is).

My view is off a left and equil open world. I also truly hope people will change their view off politicians. They should actualy ask them question, ask for answers, demand reason. Mail them, it realy works. For example the software patent guideline from Europe. How many people have send their concernce to a parlmentarian about this?
I'm not a politician I'm just working for them and introducing free software at my best ability. It's not easy as they have little knowledge about IT as a whole. Let stand to get them read and invest energie in free software. But I managed to get at least free software in the official party programe of sp.a. So
