The CryptoCards, which will give all Fellows the power to use strong authentication and encryption are currently at the printer. They should be ready around 20 March 2005 and we will start personalising and shipping them immediately.
All things considered, you should hold your card in hands around the end of March.

Freedom Party in Berlin
To celebrate the Fellowship launch, FSFE and Newthinking – Network for Free Software – are having a Freedom Party in Berlin.
On 19 March 2005, Fellows and interested users will mix and mingle in a
relaxed environment at the Newthinking Store, Tucholskystr. 48,
Berlin-Mitte. Besides socialising, guests can catch up on the news
about Freedom in the digital society and Free Software.
At this opportunity, FSFE will present the CryptoCard that makes strong data protection available to all users.

Further development of the web site
As you will have noticed, some parts of the portal are still not fully functional, in particular the blogs are still having a permission problem. Together
with people from the Plone community we are working to get the
functionality up and running within the next days. We apologise for the
delay — if you think you can help with testing workflows, hack
portlets, integrate i18n, please get in touch with the list system-hackers@fsfeurope.org.
YOU could be "number 1"
The Fellowship of FSFEurope is very special for FSFE: we have been
working hard in past months to create this community. A special
thanks goes out to all of you who have already signed up as Fellows at
FOSDEM. Thank you!
But is the first person to sign up automatically Fellow #1? We at
FSFE think that it would be more fair to give to all
FOSDEM participants the possibility to be Fellow #1, so we're offering
the chance for number #1 to be assigned randomly among those who have
signed up before 23:59 on Sunday, February 27.
So, sign up now and good luck!

Fellowship site now on-line
After artundweise.de was so kind to
volunteer doing the design for the site based on the pro-bono
artworks by futurebrand, we had a long week getting things properly
applied and installed.
Special thanks go to the global Plone
community that helped us quickly and competently with the tasks at
hand. Special thanks go to Russ Ferriday for help with the layout, as
weel as Riccardo Lemmi from reflab.it and Holger Lehmann from
catworkx.de, who helped us with the not-entirely-trivial registration
form. Thanks to that combined effort, the page is now online and
ready to accept your registration.
