Браво Силвина!
Супер яко е!

Аз вчера ви пуснах моите въпроси към Ерик, ама явно нещо не е станало.

Ето ги пак - моля за коментари и предложения за корекции :)

-- 

What makes to battle for protection of our rights in the digital world a
different one? What are the most common threats and violations?

Are the EU-legislation authorities deliberately trying to scare and to
criminalize the private Internet users - with directives like IPRED2? Or
it is rather due to oversight?

Is there a date for second reading voting of the IPRED2? What are your
expectations, hopes and fears?

Do the authorities fighting the organized crime have a point to persuade
and frighten the normal, legal Internet users?

What are a blogger's rights? And what laws and rules do the bloggers
themselves violate most often?

Are there any claims against European bloggers? In which EU country the
bloggers are most secured and protected? Are you familiar with the
situation in Bulgaria?

What happened to the software patents in Europe – have they been really
and finally rejected or just the debate has moved on to another level?

EU has accepted a number of declarations, programs and strategies about
encouraging and supporting the innovations, eduction and technologies.
Are they implemented in the practice at sufficient degree?

EU encourages the use of open standards Europe-wide, especially in the
electronic communication of the government with its citizens. Is there a
possibility EU to sanction a country who don't comply?

EFF, FFII and other organizations look to a broad public support from
the EU citizens. How much the EU institutions are influenced by the
public opinion and pressure? As for Bulgaria - not much, for now.

What do you expect from OpenFest 2007?
