[Fsfe-uk] Second patents meeting (fwd)

[MJ Ray]

I would very much like to know if anyone else from these lists is 
going and can write a short report on it.  Given that it is again 
scheduled so late that I'm likely to miss the end of the meeting when 
things like letters to MEPs are decided, I'm not sure how useful it is 
for me to go.  (I'd like opinions on that.)

Subject: Second patents meeting

Hi there,

The EU software patent legislation is voted on in a few weeks time - 
on or around the 2nd of September.
Working from the outcomes of our first meeting, I am organising a 
second meeting on the issues, this time under the banner of CHASE 
(http://www.chase.org.uk/). Join us once more to discuss the issues on 
the 27th August.
Our speakers will represent a range of views and include an official 
from the EU. Let me, Jeff Veit, know that you are coming - email 
address@hidden so that we can notify our hosts of the numbers to 
expect. Your email details won't be shared with anyone.
Venue: to be announced. Another reason to register.

Admission free. Doors open around 7.30pm. There will be plenty of 
chance to talk to other people interested in the issue. If you know 
anyone who might be interested please let them know - once again, this 
meeting has been organised quickly and hasn't been widely publicised.

Best wishes,

Jeff Veit
