It won't work through this mailing list.

Hopefully we'll be able to send activist kits to people throughout Europe 
soon, see preparations at

But beware of people "making wind" (that's what a german idiomatic
expression says) on mailing lists.  A lot of people are excited about
software patents, and many of these lack the self-discipline to translate 
their energy into meaningful actions.  So they just make wind and try to 
agitate others, hoping that these will by some magic be blown into the 
right direction.  Such wind is imho only noise that disturbs real 
communication.  So let's focus on exchanging news and analysis on this 
list.
