Está ben que dende a administración esteades presionando. Máis tamén creo convinte presionar dende as distintas institucións e asociacións. Xa fixeron a portación persoas como Camilo Regueiro, que explicou a experiencia vivida no pasado a través de Galego 21 e Netscape, Xabier Tobio (Cesga) tamén se posicionou (entendo unha posición individual ou como institución). Tamén falaron xente de Trasno, e Paco vai publicar a noticia no Glug.
Eu creo que nos falta facer un resume (eu persolamente non teño datos suficientes) que explique o que pasou e presentarllo os GUGL's e a outras aosciacións. Recoller adesións a un texto consensuados e mandarllo a Tristan e aos medios de comunicación. Como podemos artellar este traballo??? Comezamos a facer propostas? (será moi esaxerado un wiki???) -Proposta 1: alguén coñece a historia de como se foi creando este bucle? Camilo xa enviou algo. Please, se alguén pode e coñece que mande algo. Compilamono nun único mini texto explicativo. -Propost 2: co mini texto explicativo, envialo á rolda de GUGL's -Proposta 3: recoller adesións das asociacións e persoas implicadas. Entendo que o traballo de Mancomun é importante neste caso, por dispoñibilidade horaria, recursos, etc , máis tamén creo importante a participación da comunidade en xeral (incluido mAncomun claro está) para dar unha visión realista da situación: Mancomun (adminstración) "usamolo" como un recurso que temos ao noso alcance, "pero coidado non te equivoques Tristan, detrás da administración que está levando a voz 'cantante' tamén está a comunidade". Sinto se ao mellor estou sendo un pouco pesado co tema do comunicado, máis insisto na importancia pola nosa propia autoestima. Súdos.
