Hi all, I hope you're doing well !
On the 10th of October we were 5 people . Graeme, the new FSFE intern in Zürich, and Thomas, a new fellow, introduced themselves. Andreas gave us a paper about the points we discussed during the meeting. (everyone will receive it soon) We spoke about the information map. The FSFE would like to have more contact in the press, in Switzerland and in the EU. We already have a press-release tracker and a website which presents what the FSFE do and what its projects are. But it's not enough. But they're not aimed for journalists. The journalists aren't the same audience, the same target. We wondered if the date and the time of the meeting are convenient for everybody, because it seems that a lot of you can't come. To improve that, we decided to use "doodle" to determine the next meeting (the link to doodle will be given soon) We spoke about the Software Freedom Day. In Vienna, the fellowship organised a concert (see some reports in the blogs on the fellowship website www.fsfe.org) We could make some things for our further actions. What are the next events ? SFD 2009 and OpenExpo 2009 both in September 2009. Do you have an idea about some events in which we can go ? - install parties ( Andrea, what would you think of this idea ?) in which we can speak about the "free" philosophy while the LUG speaks about technical aspects of GNU/Linux - Meeting with the Chaos Computer Club Zürich - Open Document Day
We can bring some people to our meetings and let them give us a speech. We can go to schools/universities to give some speeches about free software/free society
the media platform we would like to build would be modular. So every fellowship group could use that to create its own, specific, media information. Spread our thoughts in the media area is the first step to access a political status.
All in all, this meeting was to consolidate the basis and to think about the actions we can do.
Thanks a lot for coming ! Don't hesitate to comment this report and to debate/discuss on this mailing list !
Kind regards,
Ben
Hi all, It was really nice to meet you all on Friday.
With the next meetings in mind, I've started a Doodle poll to figure out what the best day of the week and time to meet might be:

It would be great if you could express your preference. Please ignore the specific dates (e.g. 'Mon 21') - we just want to know if any Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday would be OK.
Regards,
Graeme West
