[AktiviX-discuss] E-citizens...

[Dan]

Hia,

Just to say

1. Thanks for all the replies re e-citizenship - they were great.  I've 
compiled some of them, and will be haranguing WEA today.  Hopefully then 
we can set up a brainstorming meeting on e-citizenship infrastructure, 
open source etc, at some point in the near future.

I'm also going to try to persuade them to pay me to go to London to see 
what's happening in Southwark...

2. Why I need other people to join in - I can be pro-open source and 
recycling, but what the hell does *any* of this mean? -

I guess it means 'yay!  Cheap and easy wireless access for the masses!'  
Is that right?

Cheers,

Dan
