We all feel really concerned about the Open Source, of course, but
could not interfer with politics.
I don't agree, we should put a stop to this, because SOPA can harm Fedora.
If you have a personnal blog, that's were you should discuss about
personnal feelings/ideas.
I didn't want to discuss this idea, I wanted to get something done. Nicu is right, the board should decide on this, and I hope they'll decide to black out fedoraproject.org
In France we have something called HADOPI, a new an completly wrong
law that let the governement the possibility to cut your internet
connexion: they want to blacklist people… They only have the ipv4
adress to match your internet traffic with your real name, which is
completly crazy. They even want to do more: add a mandatory
governement spy in your Operating System (of course guys up there
don't undersand Linux things).
