Additionally, PLEASE, do not mix-up the issues of Free Software with the
issue of software patents.
The conference on Monday is about (the dangers of) software patents, not
about Free Software.

As you know RMS will come to Luxembourg to talk about
the dangers of
Software Patents on Monday.
You should register for this event: http://www.linuxdays.lu
For those coming we should respect a few rules even if we do not agree
with RMS on certain points.
1. Do not bring any clothes representing a TUX (no tie, no pin, no
T-shirt ..)
2. When talking about GNU/Linux don't forget the GNU.
3. Don't mix up Free Software and Open Source.
4. Do not distribute Knoppix
5. Our User Group is oriented to protect Free Software. We should use
the term Libre Luxembourg. Or at least say GNU/Linux User Group
We are there to convince politicians to reverse the Luxembourgish vote
in the
council and in general to reject Software Patents. We do not want to
fight about
the political correctness of FSF, OS, Linux, GNU ....
