Fellowship meeting in Zürich on the 10th of October
On the 10th of October we were 5 people at the Zürich FSFE Office for the 4th fellowship meeting here. Graeme, the new FSFE intern (well, not really now....) 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.
All in all, this meeting was to consolidate the base and to think about
the actions we can do.
