NZ government is about to pass a new Patents Act.  In the 8-year review, they seemingly forgot to consider the impacts of patents on computer software!  Submissions on the bill are being accepted till 2 July, so we need to move fast.  Make a submission now!

On the afternoon of September 15, 2007, the Free Software Foundation and BinaryFreedom are hosting a Software Freedom Day event in downtown Boston (Chinatown).

There will be Drupal representation in the form of a presentation by Agaric Design Collective and/or any other Drupal folk who show up.

The NASA CoLab team at NASA Ames Research Center, in Mountain View, CA, seeks a Sys Admin Intern to join the CoLab team at to support the CoLab and CosmosCode projects.

We've just launched the new SQIL (Semaine québécoise de l'informatique libre) website in Drupal, migrating from the 2005 WordPress we had. The SQIL 2007 is taking place in September with Software Freedom Day so you all have 6 months to come up and organize interesting activities.

We're also looking for a little help with the site, so if you have experience with multilingual Drupal sites and/or organic groups, don't be shy and let us know, we could use a hand :)

The Québec Free Software Week (called "SQIL", for Semaine québécoise de l'informatique libre) is actually 9 days of activities promoting free software. Everyone is invited to organize an activity, be it a meeting, demo, installfest or software launch.
