Re: [linux-team] Au sujet d'un groupe national, voici ce que nos voisins ont fait
Ce que vous ne savez pas a propos de cet evenement en Hollande, c que la
coordinatrice de tout l'evenement Linux2000 en hollande est morte ce
lundi. Quand nous sommes arrive a Ede pour chercher ESR, l'ambiance
n'etait pas des plus chouette.
Bon, ce dit en passant, linux en Hollande c peut -etre très bien, mais
il faut savoir que la Hollande a vote lors du vote a L'Office Europeen
des Brevets en FAVEUR DE LA BREVETABILITE des logiciels, tout comme la
Belgique. Connaissez-vous les conséquences de cela vis-a-vis des
logiciels libres?
Maintenant, ce qu'il faut faire, etant donne que le vote qui dira si oui
ou non les logiciels seront brevetables sera prise fin Novembre, et la
Belgique est prête a voter POUR LA BREVETABILITE!!!!!!!
Vu l'urgence de la situation, notre LUG et quelques autres utilisateurs
de Linux vous invitent a envoyer une lettre papier avec une enveloppe et
un timbre en imprimant la lettre suivante:

Faites suivre et forwarder a tous vos contacts...
Merci

PS: Alain: on s'est vu mardi, tu es venu en avance...

> Tuesday October 10th, I went to linux2000, a two-day conference held in `de
> Reehorst', Ede, the Netherlands. Keynote speaker was Eric Raymond (ESR).

> The conference featured an exposition floor populated by many

> as Redhat, Suse, IBM and Borland, but also typically dutch enterprises
> like Stone-IT or Snow. Of course, the Dutch Linux Users Group,
> NLLGG, had a booth of their own. Each day five rounds of talks were
> held; each round featured four speakers in parallel, so choices had to
> be made on what session to attend.

> Here are my impressions on the second day of linux2000:
>
>
> The day was opened by Joost Helberg of Snow BV. He gave a short
> introduction to Linux, its history and its future. He also pointed out
> some aspects of Linux he thought could be improved.

> The second speaker was the keynote speaker of the event: Eric Raymond. He
