I believe that in Spain there's quite a few free software advocates in politics - I remember reading a blog entry on FSF.org (RMS travel blog) describing a conversation with a conservative politician who said that a society wasn't really democratic unless it uses free software. Same thing n Brazil, where former president Jose Sarney is among the prominent FS advocates: http://www.brazzil.com/2003/html/news/articles/aug03/p139aug03.htm In Sweden, one of the candidates for the European Parliament is Erik Josefsson: http://www.erikjosefsson.eu/ ... who used to work for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and is former president of FFII Sweden. EJ is more focused on civil rights and privacy, but is also a free software advocate. That's just some very few :-) br Carsten _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
