EFF-Austin's representatives have just returned from a conference in
Atlanta with EFF's directors and staff, and with representatives from
other similar groups based in the Bay ARea, New York, Washington D.C.,
and Alabama. We'll make a report asap. It was clear from this meeting
that EFF intends to continue doing what it's done all along, but with
more focus. The Cambridge office was closed not to eliminate its
functions, but to consolidate staff in one office. Washington DC was
the logical selection because it's the seat of government, and this
is a group that seeks to influence legislation. Furthermore, it
seemed that Mike Godwin would continue providing legal services,
along with Shari Steele, though this is still (as noted in the
announcement) being worked out.
