Do you know who your MEP is? If not, can I respectfully suggest that you click on www.europarl.org.uk and find out, pronto? There are 12 European constituencies in the UK, and each has between three and 10 MEPs. They need to hear from you, because they hold your future in their hands. And the irony is that many of them probably don't know that yet.

Open Source Software (OSS) development has emerged in the last decades as one of the most important phenomenon of computer science and engineering. It has been instrumental for education and research in the Academia, providing free access to essential tools, such as compilers, word processors, spreadsheets, etc, it has changed the way people perceive the software business, and it has often kept the software market away from monopolies. As such, a deep understanding of OSS requires the understanding of a wide spectrum of issues.
