[wos] Strategy Meeting Copyright Law @ Chaos Communication Camp

[Volker Grassmuck]

Dear list members,

there will be an opportunity to meet up at the CCC's Summer Camp to 
discuss the ongoing copyright law reform. I realize, It's a bit of a 
short notice, still, all of you who will be able to make it to the 
vicinity of Berlin are warmely welcome to participate in the 
following meeting. And the camp and conference, of course, will be 
worth it in its own right. 

best
Volker

sphere).
