Hello, everybody.
We are trying to involve others from Italy, by writing on the "digital
freedom" mailing list, where there are many people involved in digital
rights activism:

http://linux-club.org/pipermail/digitalfreedomweek/2009-December/005327.html
http://linux-club.org/pipermail/digitalfreedomweek/2009-December/005332.html

If you find some interesting point that you want us to translate, please
ask! I was thinking that it might be a good idea to invite the people
interested in this topic to subscribe to this mailing list so that we
can have a discussion on the topic in English and coordinate
transnationally... what do you think about it?

Claudio
