[Fsfe-uk] european social forum/communications rights forum

[Graham Seaman]

Hi,

Has anyone been involved with the European Social Forum in the end?

My impression of what has gone on (and it is only an impression, because 
I haven't been involved)
is that:

1. The  ESF itself has been  taken over by an odd coalition of the  
Socialist Workers Party, Socialist
Action, and people linked to Ken Livingstone.
2. These people have no interest in free software
3. As a result, any activity by european free software organisations 
will take place outside the formal
ESF framework - in particular in the parallel European Communication 
Rights forum in Camden
(see http://esf2004.net/en/tiki-index.php?page=EfCr ).

Does anyone know if this summary is correct? And is anyone on this list 
planning to be involved with
the communications rights forum?

Cheers
Graham
