"Life of Brian" Played Out In Community
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the frustrations of being a
| software freedom advocate is how many of
| the attacks that are made on me come from
| people who most observers would consider
| to be "fighting for the same side". My
| recent call for volunteers to work on
| revamping the Open Source Initiative
| (OSI) is a case in point. Of the public
| comments I've read, the majority berate me
| for daring to be positive about OSI rather
| than castigating it in favor of the Free
| Software Foundation (FSF) as they
| themselves do. (Fortunately the private e-
| mails are much more encouraging). But it's
| not just a tension between OSI and FSF.
| For example, in one forum where I
| mentioned my membership card for the Free
| Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) had
| arrived, one reply asked if I would also
| be joining the FSF. Software freedom
| arouses extreme passions among its
| adherents.

FSF Advocates Free Software for U.S. IPEC Joint Strategic Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has
| responded to the United States executive
| "Intellectual Property" Enforcement
| Coordinator (IPEC) Joint Strategic Plan.
|
| The FSF argues that the government should
| use free software to provide more freedom
| and transparency to its constituents and
| reduce the need to engage in costly
| copyright enforcement activities on behalf
| of proprietary software companies. The FSF
| states that "the most egregious harms to
| the public interest in the areas of
| copyright and patents come not from a lack
| of enforcement, but from extraordinarily
| excessive enforcement."

GNU Generation 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| After many successful months of GNU
| Generation, GNU Generation 2.0 was
| officially announced at LibrePlanet 2010.
| This builds upon the original GNU
| Generation by lowering the entry barrier to
| free software contribution, and making the
| program more extensible.
