Open Source Lobbying, tips from the trenches (24c3)
from Chaos Computer Club - archive feed (high quality) Hosted by Arjen Kamphuis
On January 1st, 2002 I tried to use the website of the Dutch national railway (www.ns.nl) using Linux. The site refused me access, it was IE-only. This sparked a conversation with members of parliament about the need for open standards. Over a five year period I progressed from talking to opposition-MP's to meeting the economics minister directly and was able to significantly influence national policy despite total lack of funding or any specific mandate. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Fahrplan/events/2387.en.html
