[Fsfe-uk] [real work] Free Software expert needed in the UK

[Georg C. F. Greve]

Hi all,
Hi Alan,

the following mail was sent by Alan to the FSF in search for
assistance - since it is UK specific, I'm forwarding it to the
U.K. list of the FSF Europe (information for Alan).

So what do we do about this? Do we have an ideal candidate?

Does it have to be a citizen of the UK? Otherwise I'm offering my
help. Holding a German Diploma in Physics and being the President of
the FSF Europe I might have some credibility in an official group.

Regards,
Georg
