Salut,
First of all, please excuse me for posting to this list with rather
off-topic material. I hope that some of you will find this interesting
and are willing to interact, and subsequently, come. I am also sorry
that the date I picked is identical with the date picked for the Beer
Event, but there isn't much time for it all, and I didn't have too
much free time in my calendar. So, let's start...
I would like to invite you all to an introductive meeting into all the
things we still require …
[View More]in order to get the swiss copyright reform into
a better shape (for us).
The problematic
===============
The swiss copyright reform attempts to introduce DMCA-like legislation.
It tries to criminalize any attempt to break a "protection system" of
any type of content. It remains unspecified what a protection system is
and what type of content can be protected.
Together with the upcoming DRM regime, this legislation is, in my
opinion, a severe threat to the upcoming information society, as well as
to OpenSource in itself. It also constitutes a severe discrimination of
handicapped people and is a serious inhibitor to science.
The Council of States is soon going to make a decision on the issue.
Soon, the National Council is going to follow. If everything goes like
it did in our neighbor countries, the parliament is going to decide in
favor of our fellow lobbyists from the BSA, Microsoft, Disney,
MediaLive, the MPA etc. We don't have any lobbyists in the game up to
this point, and nobody else is going to do this for us.
What we need to do is to present our parliaments with our side of the
story, so they know it even exists. We need good arguments to decide
against the plans, or to adapt ammendments which will change the current
proposal to our needs. I think we can even count on the support of the
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the IT area, as a lot of
them do have interests in that area.
If we act now, we still have a chance to keep our country free from this
type of unfavorable legislation.
Location and Time
=================
On Monday, October 16th, 2006, from 18:00 to whenever we're going to
finish.
We're going to meet there:
Nico Schottelius
Hasenbuelerstrasse 15
CH-8625 Gossau ZH
This is easily reachable by car from Zurich: just follow the motorway
to Rapperswil and drop off, following the direction to Rapperswil. In
Wetzikon, go to the right right after the railway station, in direction
to Gossau.
By train: go to Wetzikon, then take the bus to Gossau. Leave at the
station "Gossau Moos". Then walk about 100m to the inner village, take
the first street to the right and follow it to the end, then you'll see
the house on the left side (that one with the huge pool).
Agenda
======
* Work at a common position to the current set of ammendments that the
council presented
* Come up with own ammendments to the law
* Maybe: short introduction to lobbying (but I don't think we'll have
time for that)
Most of the work has already been done by me, but currently, this is
just my own work and doesn't have any basis in the "community".
Food and drinks
===============
Cannot be provided locally, you will have to take care of this yourself.
Registration
============
Anyone can come without any need to register. However, it would be nice
if you could drop me a mail so we can tell how many people will be
coming.
If you can't come at 18:00, it's ok if you arrive later. The
participation is more important than arriving on the hour.
Hoping for a broad base,
Tonnerre

Hi,
a customer in Bern was scheduled to move to a new location (outside of
the city). They have arranged in advance for connectivity, notably a
leased line to a foreign country to the company's HQ with another
company (I was not involved with that).
However, it seems the new leased line will be delayed for some reason,
so the customer and I proposed, as an emergency plan, an alternative
emergency plan using temporary ADSL links and VPNs.
The ADSL links are apparently functionnal and ready, …
[View More]one problem less.
However, the bandwidth offered by this emergency temporary solution may
be insufficient (I don't have the figures yet, but I am worried).
Is there a way to very quickly set up a leased line or equivalent
between the old site (Bern) and the new site (around Bern) at say 2 MBps
symmetric ? Quickly is: should work on next tuesday.
Any small and dynamic company able to do that ? Some way to blackmail
Swisscom? Use army material (faisceaux hertziens) ? :)
I am open to any (feasiable) idea!
(and sorry to use this list as a consulting source, but it seems swinog
is my only source on this issue).

www.bluewin.ch works fine here in Geneva. But we have some customers
connected over Cablecom network - they have no connectivity at the
moment so I think Cablecom has some problems as well
Cheers and have a nice WE
