Thanks for the patent related discussion folks. I'll look forward to telling you about the presentation I made in Sydney, hopefully at the next Free Software Melbourne meeting.
Can I suggest taking further patent discussion to the End Software Patents Australia list? That way others can be involved too. Can I suggest as a topic of discussion (sometime): "The need of national identity for FOSS"? Rationale: "End Software Patents Australia" doesn't *seem* to have enough ammunition in raising to *Australian* politicians the point of "But is the *Australian* FOSS movement that suffers because of the software patents".
See: http://wiki.freesoftware.asn.au/AustralianFreeSoftwareProjects - not that many IMHO. Adrian
