Dear DIEGO MANIACCO,
*Lifesaving technology should belong to everyone, but the United States
Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) is working day and night to restrict
access, even during a global pandemic.*
On Friday May 8th, the USPTO announced the COVID-19 Prioritized Examination
Pilot Program
<https://www.uspto.gov/about-us/news-updates/uspto-announces-covid-19-priori…>.
Doctored up to look like a helpful response to a global pandemic, it's
actually the exact opposite. Under the program, the USPTO will waive some
fees associated with accelerated application review for patents on works
that require US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. They'll also
work to try and get these applications granted within six months. These
changes will make it easier and faster for people to gain patents on any
technology related to the pandemic, including patents on software. It's not
in our scope to determine the impact of other kinds of patents, but we know
specifically that they are terrible for software, and at a time where
software is critical to saving lives, expediting software patent
applications will only cause harm.
To be clear, this program does not speed up FDA approval, or help to get
lifesaving technology to the people who need it most. It doesn't create
supply chains or help fund the development of medical technologies and
software. All it does is make it easier for someone to "own" that
technology, to make it quicker and cheaper to restrict others from
implementing and sharing tools that people need to survive. It rushes the
patent application process so that someone could be able to sue others
trying to save seriously ill patients around the world before the global
pandemic is over.
While the crisis was unfurling, the GNOME Foundation was still expending
resources fighting off a patent suit started in 2019. On May 20, 2020, the
GNOME Foundation succeeding in securing a release and covenant not to sue
<https://www.gnome.org/news/2020/05/patent-case-against-gnome-resolved/>
from the patent aggressor for all software released under a free license.
This was a major win for software freedom that took months and months to
realize. But the threat remains, and the only reason someone would need to
get their patent granted sooner is because they want to start their
lawsuits sooner, to disrupt the flow of medical technology in order to
siphon off profits from those seeking to alleviate the worst pandemic in a
century.
Taken together with a recently released report from the USPTO
<https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/05/patent-office-adjusting-supreme-court…>
patting themselves on the back for ignoring the US Supreme Court in order
to increase the number of software patents, it's clear that the USPTO views
its mandate as requiring them to crank out as many patents as they possibly
can. In *Alice v. CLS Bank*, the US Supreme Court limited the patent
eligibility of software implemented on a general purpose computer. As the
USPTO report stated, this increased the number of patent applications
receiving initial rejections. So last year the USPTO released "guidance"
that weakened those limitations, and now the number of software patents
speeding through its pipeline has increased once again.
Even in normal times, increasing software patent restriction is harmful to
everyone. Software patents threaten all developers, putting them in the
line of fire for ruinous lawsuits simply for creating and sharing their own
code. Until the day when we can completely end all software patents
<http://endsoftpatents.org/>, we should be reducing the harm done, not
coming up with programs and guidance to accelerate the damage. But in the
midst of a global crisis where hundreds of thousands have already died,
where supply chains for medical technology are stretched beyond limits,
creating a cheaper and easier fast track for causing further patent
disruption is downright criminal.
While the USPTO is pretending to help with the response to COVID-19, it is
actually throwing a supercharged wrench into the gears of medical supply
distribution, so we the people have to come up with our own response that
actually helps. Software patents cut people off from one another, but if
we're going to respond adequately and humanely to this crisis, we need to
all work together. That is why we are asking you to join our COVID-19
Response Team
<https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:COVID-19_Response_Te…>
on the Free Software Directory <https://directory.fsf.org>. The Free
Software Directory is a volunteer-run catalog of over 16,000 free software
packages. It helps users to find software that they can modify and share
with their friends. The ethics of free software are more important than
ever, and we need to help people gain access to software that respects
their rights. On the COVID-19 Response Team, we're directing our efforts
towards ensuring that everyone has access to medical software, 3D printing
designs of medical technology, and other tools that will be useful in the
fight against this global pandemic. You can jump in
<https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:Participate> and
start working right away, or join us every Friday from 12 pm to 3pm EDT in
the #fsf irc channel on Freenode.
Software patents are another kind of disease, and the USPTO has decided to
become a super-spreader of that infection, which will in turn worsen the
physical infections. Join together with us to fight back. We hope to see
you every Friday, but here are some other ways that you can help:
- Have a 3D printer? Help the HACKERS and HOSPITALS initiative
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/HACKERS_and_HOSPITALS> to print protective
devices and other medical equipment.
- Support our work in the fight against software patents by
becoming an associate
member of the Free Software Foundation <https://www.fsf.org/join>, or
making a donation <https://www.fsf.org/donate>.

Hallo an alle, ciao a tutti
Da tanti anni utilizziamo LTSP per i laboratori della Max Valier.
L'ultima installazione è con Ubuntu 16.04 e il supporto termina prima
della fine del prossimo anno scolastico. Ora vorremmo rifare il server
con Ubuntu 20.04 e vedo che LTSP è completamente cambiato, Non c'è più
il LTSP 5.x degli ultimi 10 anni, ma lo hanno implementato da zero e lo
chiamano 19.* e 20.* e hanno stravolto tutto!
Qualcuno lo ha provato e ha qualche esperienza? Forse anche qualche
consiglio o una piccola guida?
Grazie
~ Karl
Auch die LUG-T organisiert heute wieder einen Online-Stammtisch, ich
selber werde aber nicht dabei sein.

Bellissimo articolo di Maria Chiara Pievatolo:
"Non sono un’informatica. Ma da studiosa, da docente e da cittadina
preoccupata mi sembra doveroso chiedere perché le istituzioni italiane
hanno preferito sistemi privati e proprietari fuori dal loro controllo
invece di pretendere soluzioni aperte, pubbliche e controllate da loro,
e augurarmi che le risposte, se ci saranno, siano fatte oggetto di un
dibattito pubblico partecipato."

Hallo,
die Zeit des "Not-Unterrichts" geht mit dem Schulschluss zwar zu Ende (und die Schüler, welche von der Schule laptops bekommen haben, müssen sie wieder bei der Schule abliefern), aber unsere Aktion soll auch den Sommer über weitergehen, sozusagen als Phase 2.
Die Aktion zieht Kreise:
- die Gemeinde Völs hat auf das LUGBZ-Schreiben reagiert und 5 gute Desktops zur Verfügung gestellt, sowie eine Notiz im Gemeinde-Kleinanzeiger veröffentlicht
- heute morgen kam ein Bürger aus Völs nach Bozen zum Einkaufen, nahm seinen PC mit, hat angerufen und den Pc schließlich bei ADA abgegeben.
gruss
toni
ps: tutti i comuni hanno ricevuto la lettera di richiesta LUGBZ. Chiedete al vostro comune, se hanno risposto o se intendono risponder :-)
oops,
diese mail ging in der eile nur an patrick, nicht an die liste.
das hol ich nun nach.

Patrick, du hast völlig recht :-)
Ich wollte die positiven Nachrichten nun mal schnell auch hier verbreiten, wo sie ja auch manchmal fehlen :-)
Mit dem Ausschuss muss ich ja ständig in Verbindung sein, damit alles funktionieren kann.
Und: über den Daumen gepeilt, hat die Fase 1 der Aktion des LUGBZ ungefähr 3-400 Menschen im ganzen Land aktiv einbezogen.
Das hat auch seinen Wert :-) - und vielleicht Langzeitwirkung.

Hallo Toni,
wollte keinen Stress verursachen!
Wollte rein darauf hinweisen, dass es eine Gelegenheit ein könnte, um eine positive Nachricht zu verbreiten. Aus meiner Erfahrung wesentlich besser als die vielen Kritiken über was alles nicht richtig gemacht wird.
Die Entscheidung obliegt natürlich dem Ausschuss der lugbz!

Un passo alla volta.
Attualmente stiamo concludendo e tirando le somme della fase 1.

Ciao Toni e Diego,
forse sarebbe il caso di fare un comunicato stampa di ringraziamento?
Qualche messaggio positivo non farebbe sicuramente male!

Grazie Toni!
Come installatore confermo che i pc dati dal comune di Völs sono ottimi: Intel i5, 8GB ram, ssd, silenziosissimi.
