[Fsfe-uk] 'creative industries' launch

[Graham Seaman]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this; if it isn't can 
someone point me to a more appropriate list?

Anyway, have people seen the  *'Creative Industries' forum the 
government launched today?

It seems to be made up of MPs and employer's organizations, with no-one 
apart from the Consumer's
Association to represent the public, and no-one to represent individual 
'content' creators at all. But that
may be just because I'm not familiar with all the associations listed.  
Am I right? Who would you apply
pressure to to widen the membership, or is it all too late?

On a related note, what about the idea of proposing a 'Free Software 
Creation Capital' entry for
the 'sector initiatives' of  Creative London?
