Hi, I'm sorry to bother you with this, but since - sensationally put - it's about the future of Free Software I'm hoping for your help:
On September 1st the European Parliament will start discussing a proposal for a new pro-software-patent-legislation in Europe. A vote on the proposal is planned to take place on the same day or the days thereafter. Unfortunately the pro-software-patent lobbyist are very strong but the opposition isn't sleeping either: To raise the attention of the press and of MEPs (members of the European Parliament) the FFII (http://www.ffii.org) is organizing a demonstration and conference in Brussels on August 27th (http://swpat.ffii.org/ news/03/demo0819). In parallel there will be an online demonstration (http://swpat.ffii.org/group/demo). As a member of the FFII I'm helping to organize this online demo. I already contacted several free software projects and some have agreed to participate. However, contacting all of them individually is a tedious task. Therefore we had the idea to ask Savannah: Would it be possible to inform all maintainers of projects hosted on Savannah about this online demonstration? Do you have some kind of newsletter where a small announcement could be placed?
