yeh I am in Mozambique. Mi castellano is unn poco malo y mi portguguese 
es portunol! I am an Aussie, my wife is basque, she works for the UN and 
I have spent the last 6 years in Timor, panama and now here.
I will look at the hipatia....
I am doigna research degree at UNSW in Sydney (I am not there though) - 
its started out from a paper I sent Stefan which he kindly critiqued on 
Aboriginal Art and IP law, trying to find a non property way by 
examining some case law I worked on and now is heading towards something 
with a working title of "Open Source - logic, rhetoric and potentials 
...." with a chapter about the relationship between an Aboriginal magpie 
goose and a finnish pengiun :-D
Anyway
thanks for the Gorz link.

Auskadi,

You're writing from Mocambique, right? I don't know any African groups,
but you should try the mailing list at www.hipatia.info - mixed
Spanish/Brazilian portuguese/italian speakers, majority of hackers, but
some people non hacker left activists, and most of the hackers on there
are also activists (mainly, but not only, in the sense of trying to
influence government, schools, hospitals etc locally and nationally to use
free software). Someone was saying the other day that there are now people 
on the list from every continent except Africa - I'm sure people would be 
very pleased to have you there, even if only as a symbol ;-)

Graham
