Re: New Resource for Activists

  My primary area of Activism is the promotion of Open Source software.  
I do this especially within the NGO and activist movements where the
community based accountability (and opposition to the corrupt and even
illegal business practices of large technology vendors) should be a
no-brainer.

  Your message was sent to us from a Microsoft hotmail account,
advertising a site hosted on a Microsoft IIS server. This suggests that we
should get together and talk if you wish your site to be more accepted and 
be more effective.

The site www.ottawaactivism.com is running Microsoft-IIS/4.0 on 
NT4/Windows 98.




Note: I consider the "Auto Free Ottawa" issue more from a "technological
accountability and choice" angle, not as an environmental issue.  This is 
why I'm involved in Auto-Free Ottawa.

  Yet another Microsoft advertisment - is your "Free" email account really 
worth the real costs?
