How's my driving? CLUE policy coordinator

I sent something similar to the following to a few forums, hoping to
open conversations about the policy summary we have for copyright as
well as getting endorsements for that summary and for the petitions.

If you are a member of a LUG, could you forward this into the general
discussion list?

Every once in a while I like to re-introduce myself to fellow
Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) developers and users.  I'm
the policy coordinator for CLUE: Canada's association for Open Source
http://cluecan.ca/policy/

The area of policy that I have been most active in is federal
copyright law.  I have been attending almost all of the Bill C-32
committee hearings in person, posting my thoughts about each meeting
to http://billc32.ca/com

I don't know when I will be invited to speak in front of the
committee, but I want to ensure that I am representing FLOSS
developers and users well when I do.

If you haven't seen our copyright policy summary, it is at
http://www.cluecan.ca/policy/copyright

If you like it, consider trying to convince your local LUG or other
FLOSS associated group to endorse it.  There are also two petitions
that CLUE has endorsed that you may consider having your association
endorse, and possibly coordinate collecting signatures.
