I think storming to the front without any goal or idea settled is the
wrong approach, although I like the initiative.
You are right, action without a great deal of reflection is either
useless or maybe even damageable.
Maybe a FSF-Canada is not needed as such, but instead an organisation
that focuses on building relationships between the users and the
businesses using Free Software or maybe a lobby group is needed to
reach the government itself. These are questions that need to be
answered before we get into writing a charta.
I think you have a point : Basically, we don't need an organization
itself, but we need the action. We need to attract people and create
links between them.
My answer to that would be that creating the basis of an FSF-C would be
a good way to do this. I fully agree with you that we should not desire
a complex organization, or foundation. But I think it is pointless to
attract people to a mailing list for a non-existant organization.
Understand me well : I fully agree that an organization without a
community is pointless. It would be a waste of our resources and our
personal time. But don't you think that beginning to build the FSF-C,
slowly, would provide the basis to create links inside the community?
Thank you for your answer!
Have a nice day!
