   What type of political advocacy do you envision doing?


   I hope that you'll partner with CLUE.  While CLUE has a mandate larger 
than LUGs or the more specific Ubuntu community, we are obviously doing 
work that would be important for these communities to support.


BTW: I presented new CLUE copyright policy summary to Canadian Heritage 
last friday.  Check out http://cluecan.ca/policy
