What do people think of the World Social Forum?
see:
http://www.forumsocialmundial.org.br/
and for related news stories:

for the Stallman talk:
http://www.ciranda.net/publique/cgi/public/cgilua.exe/web/templates/htm/0portugues/view.htm?user=reader&editionsectionid=3&infoid=365
yes, after all that (and for the conference on Knowledge, Rights of
Reproduction and Patents) the whole thing is microsoft based and even the
downloads are word files :-(
Is this something new, with elements from free software, anti-patent
campaigns, anti-globalization and the old 'new left' (Chomsky, Saramago,
Wallenstein) coming together, or has it been going on for a while and I
just missed it?
Graham
