Dear all,
just a note that there will a workshop called "Cultural Heritage in a Digital Europe" dedicated to copyright reform in the EP. Panelists will include representatives from the publishers (who want to block any reform), IFLA (who are leading the Lyon Declaration initiative) and the Head of Unit "Copyright" (who will oversee the drafting of the reform text).
If in Brussels 11 November, you shouldn't miss it! People asking spot-on questions usually helps.

Hi guys, We in Wikimedia Czech Republic keep an eye on the current progress back in Brussels. Despite the European capital being far, it is still an interesting story. Here we might see a birth of local advocacy group one day, but so far everything is in its very beginning. But we would like to be present. So to keep the story short - an article that basically follow what was written on UK blog and the Foundation blog is here: http://blog.wikimedia.cz/2014/11/evropska-reforma-autorskeho-prava-a-hnuti-w... (you can gt it in case you'd like to get some insights). All best, Jan Loužek - Aktron Wikimedia Czech Republic
That's great, Jan! Education of other Wikimedians is one of the good things this group can do, so very nice to see this post. (And GT seems to work better on Czech than a lot of other things ;)
