Hope you don't mind getting and possibly passing on information on
some events for April 14 and 15, 2004 in Brussels. It would be
interesting to spread it in non-free software circles as well
(computer professional organisations, labour unions, consumer groups,
academia, software businesses and software using businesses, digital
rights groups, etc.).

In a nutshell:

Brussels April 14 2004 : protests and conference on the software
patents directive.  The Council of ministers of the EU is apparently
going to throw away the work done in the European Parliament and propose 
allowing patenting of software without any effective limit. FFII's press
release is at:

http://plone.ffii.org/events/2004/bxl04/pr/

Brussels April 15 2004 : conference on digital rights and promotion 
of free software inside the European Parliament, but see the note below


Brussels April 14 and 15 2004 : it seems a virtual demonstration is 
in the works (that is you are invited to replace your home page with a
a protest note or so, like last summer).

If you have time to spend I bet the organisers will also wellcome 
help in setting things up.

Conferences and LUG in Brussels 
European Parliament room ASP 1G2
________________________________________________________________


Most legal frame related to new technologies is cooked up at Brussels. To
get a feet into European Parliament's door and show that you care right
before the election (to whetten your appetite: its Members will decide on
the patentability of software, on data privacy issues, TPRM, and so on),
join an installfest within parliament (and bring your favorite MEP with
you), attend a panel with ALAN COX, GEORG GREVE, Jon Lech Johansen or DVD
JON (of decss fame), participate in a guided tour through brussels
(anti-swpats "demo"), meet LUGs and programming rights groups from all
over the place, or to meet some chaotic nerds of FFII book your hostel
now. On 14 April evening, there will be a diner/party at restaurant La
Tentation, in the center of Brussels. See

	http://plone.ffii.org/events/2004/

Entrance is free however to access the building you have to register
online before 7 April http://www.greens-efa.org
