PLEASE NOTE: The Preliminary Injunction Hearing is NOW set for Tuesday, January 18, 2000 at 13:30 (PST) at Santa Clara County Superior Court (Dept. 2).'

  1. What can those of us too distant to attend do? by FreeUser · · Score: 4

    The subject says it all.

    I and other are too far away to give any "on-site" support, but would like to help out if we can.

    Aside from joining the EFF (done), what if anything can those of us too far away to attend the hearing do to help out?

    Re, the worries about "bad nerds"--

    We pretty much impressed everyone there at the TRO hearing--I'm dead serious, I don't think the staff at the courthouse had ever experienced such a courteous crowd. Bruce Perens had alot to do with this, as he guided us as a mass quite effectively, but everyone there deserves credit for giving the Linux community a good name.

    In comparison, the plaintiffs pretty much walked in there like they owned the place, made arguments which were essentially "Not only did these guys post the code, but they were really really mean about it and made fun of us!", and talked about the hundreds of thousands of jobs the movie industry creates. There may have been less of them, but guess which group was more civil?
