The long planned Hungarian chapter has been founded by 20 members on the 27 September, and we have handed in our court application on the 29th.The court registration process in Hungary might be quite long (all in all up to 3 months), before we become operational.
After the Chapters Committee and the Metropolitan Court of Budapest approves our bylaws,we would like to do everything to further the Foundation's mission in Hungary, and to have a close working relationship with the other chapters, to organise events, workshops and activities inside and with cooperation outside Hungary. Also we would like to lobby for a friendly change in the legal atmosphere to loosen copyright restrictions together with the also newly found Hungarian Creative Commons Association.
We would like to thank everyone who has helped us come so far, and those whose further help will allow us to take our place in the family of Chapters.
