We've got 210 people on the (non-mandatory) Attendees
registration page, and we're expecting far more when we open on Thursday.
"All-island" is one of the buzzwords, so it's fitting
that this looks to be the biggest free software event ever organised
anywhere on the island. How will be follow up after this? How do
you beat Stallman and Perens for keynoters? It probably can't be
done. This is a once off opportunity, so we'll just have to make as
much of it as we can. ...but there will be a follow up.
Right now I'm juggling time between contacting press and replying to
the European Commission's patent consultation. I'll post my draft
to FSFE's
general discussion@ mailing list when it's ready. For anyone
else replying to this, FFII have posted their suggestions at http://consultation.ffii.org/,
Florian Mueller has posted his at his
position paper blog entry, and IFSO have begun some work on their
questionnair response wiki page.
