schestowitz#systemd presents an interesting problem, it's 'free' (as in the GPL) but 'locked' in terms of how it behaves. Like a black hole, it will eventually suck everything in the GNU/Linux ecosystem into it--you won't be able to run OpenOffice, for example, because it'll rely on the systemd subsystem. It comes off like a RedHat-driven power play to squeeze out alternative systems.Feb 15 15:04

schestowitz@Eduardo , I'd point out that the GNU folks are hostile toward BSD as well. This has to do with licensing, and the interminable licensing wars that were old fifteen years ago.Feb 15 15:04

schestowitz"@sticks_us no, GNU people are hostile with us in fact. We are free software community but they seggregate us because of the license. We just react to this hypocrisy. I had joined in a free software activist group 1 year ago when I was a GNU fan and Debian fan, to the misfortune of them was at the same time I started getting interested in other Unix-like systems (BSD specifically), at the same time OpenBSD project was needing money Feb 15 18:34
schestowitzto keep the project alive or will die. I went there in IRC channel of that group there to ask to donate to OpenBSD or it could die if it did not receive donation and it is a free software project. The answer I received was: "I won't donate do a project that it's not GPL.". this is a sickening, disgusting attitude for a "fair" community of "fair" softwares. After that I left the group because they did not advocate free software, justFeb 15 18:34
schestowitzthe product that they loved as fanboys. Now I am a really skeptical and critical about this GNU community, I really don't believe every GNUist left others systemd die because of a license, RMS never have told "boycott BSDL projects", he just thinks GPL is better, but he has anything against others free softwares licenses if they are really free. They lie about free software and call you a troll if you unmask them."Feb 15 18:34
schestowitzBut wait, what does OpenBSD say about GNU? Don't you think it's mutual? :-)Feb 15 18:35

schestowitz@Cronos 'hate' is an imprecise term, and its use, in my opinion, is lazy and counterproductive. Surely educated people can reach for more eloquent expressions? :)Feb 17 04:03
schestowitzNow, back to your regular discussion. I appreciate your expanding my perspective a bit. Perhaps you are right--the GNU people are guilty of being incendiary and unsympathetic to your position. I'm happy to learn and compromise.Feb 17 04:03
schestowitzThe OpenBSD copyright policy (http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html) describes their stance on the GPL thusly:Feb 17 04:03
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.openbsd.org | OpenBSD Copyright PolicyFeb 17 04:03
schestowitz"[On freedom 2] ...while this may superficially look like a noble strategy, it is a condition that is typically unacceptable for commercial use of software. So in practice, it usually ends up hindering free sharing and reuse of code and ideas rather than encouraging it. As a consequence, no additional software bound by the GPL terms will be considered for inclusion into the OpenBSD base system."Feb 17 04:03
schestowitzMaybe this is a why people unfairly lump *BSD licenses into the "collusion with Microsoft" category, because the source code can be incorporated in non-free (using 'free' loosely) products?Feb 17 04:03
schestowitzSome interesting discussion here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/49906/why-is-freebsd-deprecating-gcc-in-favor-of-clang-llvm/49970#49970Feb 17 04:03

schestowitz"Feb 17 04:03
schestowitz"Feb 17 04:03
schestowitz@sticks_us@nerdpol.ch , there's more to it. And yes, I think 'hate' is an applicable term.Feb 17 04:03
schestowitzThere is a certain evangelical quality to Richard Stallman, GNU, and GPL that should rub anyone who is skeptical about religion entirely the wrong way. Mike MacGirvin, the original developer of ~friendica, reported that he was harassed and threatened for refusing to adopt GPL.Feb 17 04:03
schestowitzAt the same time, some continuing ~friendica GPL developers maintain that they cannot participate in a GPL project because it would inhibit adoption in their commercial environments. Mike was, at this point, preferring to focus on red#, so he has now all but left the project.Feb 17 04:03
schestowitzNot all of this is animosity between developers. Some of this comes from corporate lawyers who look at GPL and see themselves having to defend against lawsuits in a realm where precedent has been poorly established. And they aren't listening to Richard Stallman.Feb 17 04:04
schestowitzAnd for most of us who have been around for over a decade, the license wars are old. Really old. They're tiresome. They're dull. They're lame. I frankly don't want to hear about them anymore and anyone who insists on putting them in my face is going to get a very rude response.Feb 17 04:04
schestowitzBecause, frankly, the best analogy to these license wars is the Muslim claim that the Catholic trinity (Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost) means that Catholics are not monotheistic. These disputes will never be settled.Feb 17 04:04
schestowitzAnd the only sane thing to do is live and let live. But it is the Richard Stallman, GNU, and GPL fanatics who refuse to do this.Feb 17 04:04

schestowitz"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years."Feb 19 11:05
schestowitz"It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.

The immigrant tide offered kibbutzim a chance to expand through new members and inexpensive labour, but it also meant that Ashkenazi kibbutzim would have to adapt to Jews whose background was far different from their own.

schestowitz"Is probably right that president will ignore this ruling. Is probably also right that will now also try to make harder life for anyone who is enemy. President is for two more years now and probably can ignore unless national presses and governments ask what is happening, what are you doing with fundamental right? But too many other scandals now."Feb 20 10:40
schestowitz"I'm very proud for our Dutch judiciary."Feb 20 10:40
schestowitz"Feb 20 10:40
schestowitzThere is a further interesting judgement rendered by the Regional Court Berlin (Landgericht Berlin) in SUEPO-Berlin ./. Federal Republic of Germany having the case number 28 O 25/14. Unfortunately, the judgement seems not to be publicly available.Feb 20 10:40
schestowitzSUEPO-Berlin claimed damages from Germany, because Germany did not oppose to the new strike rules in the administrative council. Theretofore, SUEPO-Berlin relied on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFR-EU).Feb 20 10:40
schestowitzThe Regional Court Berlin assumed jurisdiction, because Germany cannot rely on the immunity provisions of the EPC and the immunity protocol, and held the action admissible.Feb 20 10:40
schestowitzHowever, the Regional Court Berlin rejected the action as unfounded, because on the one hand the CFR-EU cannot be applied as the EPO is an international organization and not an EU institution. On the other hand, the court questioned that the claimed damages directly derive from the new strike rules.Feb 20 10:40
schestowitzIn my opinion, the second reason to reject the action may be justified. However, I am not so sure concerning the first one. In my view, the CFR-EU should be applicable at least via Art. 125 EPC.Feb 20 10:40
schestowitzI would appreciate that SUEPO publishes the decisions no matter whether they are in SUEPO's favor or not.Feb 20 10:40
schestowitz"Feb 20 10:40
schestowitz"Feb 20 10:40
schestowitzIn the discussion of the main appeal (filed by the Dutch branch of SUEPO) the court observed that the EPO never disputed that a Dutch court could take cognizance of the case, because the EPO has exclusively invoked immunity, rather than a lack of international jurisdiction. From this the court concludes that Dutch courts are competent to hear the case (point 4.5.Feb 20 10:41
schestowitzAnother interesting point can be found in the discussion of the cross-appeal file by the EPO (points 3.10 and 3.11): the court first observes that, although SUEPO de facto has no access to an alternative relief (because of the pendency times at the ILOAT), this does not necessarily mean that Art. 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The court then states that, under the circumstances of the case, SUEPO's claim that its Feb 20 10:41
schestowitzfundamental right to carry out collective negotiations is systematically violated by the EPO is prima facie not unfounded: hence, invoking immunity, as the EPO does, is disproportionate. Again, the court derives from this conclusion its right to take cognizance of the case. Under point 3.11 the court then observes that the argument advanced by the EPO that the EPO itself is not a party to the ECHR and, as such, is not bound to it, Feb 20 10:41
schestowitzfails: Dutch courts are obliged to guarantee the rights enshrined in the ECHR for anyone who comes under their jurisdiction (which is the case for the Dutch branch of SUEPO: the court notes that the EPO never disputed that the Dutch branch of SUEPO is subject to Dutch jurisdiction). In case of conflict between the provisions of the Protocol on Immunity and those of the ECHR, the court has to decide which provisions prevail. The Feb 20 10:41
schestowitzcourt concludes that the Protocol has to give way to the ECHR. Interesting stuff...Feb 20 10:41
schestowitz"Feb 20 10:41
schestowitz"A full translation may help as my understanding of 3.7 to 3.9 was that Suepo did not get delayed justice but, rather, has no access to ILO as only individuals have standing, not associations et al. This EPO could not rely on providing a type of that route which does not allow a union access at all. "Feb 20 10:41
schestowitz"If a court can lift diplomatic immunity of a whole international organisation, then surely it must be able also to lift the diplomatic immunity of individuals active in that organisation."Feb 20 10:41

schestowitzWell, I had been pondering whether or not to participate in the demonstration on 25 February, midday.Feb 21 19:23

schestowitzBB's letter is actually pretty remarkable, a long rambling word salad desperately trying to establish a link between some vague articles in the service regulations and examiner's right to demonstrate for their rights in public and in their spare time (which they have done multiple times in the past without being disciplined).Feb 21 19:24
schestowitzThe letter accuses the SUEPO chair of displaying an "attitude which by exercising inappropriate public pressure undermines the independence of the delegations". The UK delegation in the AC is of course not independent and unaccountable, but serves at the pleasure of the UK government. It would be interesting to hear what that government has to say about attempts to suppress peaceful demonstrations, maybe somebody on this blog is Feb 21 19:24
schestowitzbased in the UK...? Feb 21 19:24
schestowitz'Feb 21 19:24
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzWhile it's all very nice for people to stand up for their democratic rights, as several have stated they will, but please allow me to point out that someone has organised the demo and it would seem their head is going to be on the block if it takes place. Is that what those standing up for their rights want? Surely those who applied to the German authorities for the demo to be allowed to take place should have a say in whether they Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzsuffer for it. And if they choose to cancel it, what is the situation then for those standing up for their rights?Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzIt would seem we have the interesting constellation that a Dutch citizen may be threatened for carrying out an action authorised by the German state in connection with the British consulate. It would be interesting to hear what the respective governments have to say about this - even if the EPO is not touched per se. Feb 21 19:25
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzWorth reading the whole letter. There is also a 'it's none of your business' what your betters do in the letter which can also be a shot across the bows of the BoA and Suepo The Hague I.e. Don't you dare make contact with national authorities or the member states etc. Maybe also a dig at CIPA? The letter was sent to one person of Suepo Munich but BB published it on the EPO intranet for all staff to see.Feb 21 19:25

schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzLet me see. Unions criticizing management is part of normal union activity and belongs to the fundamental principles of a democratic, lawful society. The EPO cannot opt out of that. That is one of the things the court in The Hague said yesterday. To respond by trying to limit union activity would perhaps be contempt of court, if it was in the same country. It does look to me as though such an attempt does much more to bring the Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzorganization into disrepute than any union criticism could.Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzIs it not the case that when no one dares be seen as an organizer, an organizer is not needed if you have a hashtag? Feb 21 19:25
schestowitz'Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    On second thoughts, there are many thousands of examiners, formalities clerks, lawyers, highly educated and skilled, who are the organization. It is himself, the president brings into disrepute."Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    Has Mr Battistelli really threatened staff with disciplinary measures? Well, here's a suggestion, why don't you all go to the demo wearing ski masks or Guy Faukes masks. This will draw an even bigger attention from the media!"Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    To this U.S. based observer, the Charley Foxtrot continues."Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    Batti-man should join the demonstration himself if he wants his opinion to be heard or come by with his presidential limousine"Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    It is very sad indeed that EPO has become a rogue organization in hands of the current management. The EPO and the BoAs did a great service to Europe in harmonizing and developing patent law. The present trends are destroying much of what was achieved in the past. It´s time that the member states react and put an end to this situation."Feb 21 19:27
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzIf the AC continues to cover the backs of EPO management, BB can continue to stick two fingers up to the judges of any single Member State, whatever they say.Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzSUEPO it was (I suppose) that asked Munich city fathers for permission to protest in public, in front of the UK Consulate. That would be the quiet little residential street in Bogenhausen, I suppose. Moehlstr I believe, next door to the Italian Consulate and two doors down from the Russian one. No road traffic problems that I can imagine. Are EPO employees shouting rowdies, likely to be a public nuisance or a threat to the peaceful Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzresidents in that street? Surely not. I think that HMG and the British public should take it as a compliment, that SUEPO puts its faith in the UK to do something at AC level. In Germany today, one often hears mention of "the Fairness Principle". Readers, where did they get that notion from, and why do they express the idea in English?Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzIn the face of BB's threat to discipline the organisers of the protest, either SUEPO cancels the Feb 25 public protest, or it does not. If it does, then I suppose the way is clear for BB to go after any EPO employee who dares to protest. Expect cameras everywhere, on the day.Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzIf SUEPO does not cancel, well then its officers remain the to-be-disciplined "organisers" aren't they? Feb 21 19:28
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:28
schestowitz"    Baghdad Benny strikes again. In the history of the EPO no other president has "managed" to irrevocably damage the reputation of the office. His latest letter threatening the staff is breathtakingly hypocritical. By disclosing the contents of the letter he knows there will be outrage amongst the staff. I am not convinced that he cares all that much whether or not there is a demonstration in front of the British consulate in Feb 21 19:29
schestowitzMunich. He is using the anger of the staff as a lever on Suepo. If the staff demonstrate he will discipline the organizers, as we know suspensions or worse are to be expected. If the intimidation is successful the demonstration will be called off and he has shown Suepo who is boss. Win-win situation in his view.Feb 21 19:29
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:29
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:30
schestowitzThe questions are now, how to get rid of the President, how to get rid of the council, how to avoid a complete EPO implosion?Feb 21 19:30
schestowitzUntil now BB has had the life easy because the staff, for sense of service towards the European public, by naivety, cowardice, egoism and also because it is not its traditional culture, has not used the only weapon that can arm BB, the production.Feb 21 19:30
schestowitzSeveral highly experienced colleagues are already anticipating their departure on pension to leave the boat before it sinks totally.Feb 21 19:30

schestowitzIt remains, however, a considerable stretch of the imagination that, amongst the political masters of any civil service hack on the AC, any of them will see this as worthy of their attention.Feb 21 19:32

Like a black hole, it will eventually suck everything in the GNU/Linux ecosystem into it--you won't be able to run OpenOffice, for example, because it'll rely on the systemd subsystem. It comes off like a RedHat-driven power play to squeeze out alternative systems.Feb 15 14:58

schestowitz@Eduardo , I'd point out that the GNU folks are hostile toward BSD as well. This has to do with licensing, and the interminable licensing wars that were old fifteen years ago.Feb 15 14:58

schestowitz"@sticks_us no, GNU people are hostile with us in fact. We are free software community but they seggregate us because of the license. We just react to this hypocrisy. I had joined in a free software activist group 1 year ago when I was a GNU fan and Debian fan, to the misfortune of them was at the same time I started getting interested in other Unix-like systems (BSD specifically), at the same time OpenBSD project was needing money Feb 15 18:28
schestowitzto keep the project alive or will die. I went there in IRC channel of that group there to ask to donate to OpenBSD or it could die if it did not receive donation and it is a free software project. The answer I received was: "I won't donate do a project that it's not GPL.". this is a sickening, disgusting attitude for a "fair" community of "fair" softwares. After that I left the group because they did not advocate free software, justFeb 15 18:28
schestowitzthe product that they loved as fanboys. Now I am a really skeptical and critical about this GNU community, I really don't believe every GNUist left others systemd die because of a license, RMS never have told "boycott BSDL projects", he just thinks GPL is better, but he has anything against others free softwares licenses if they are really free. They lie about free software and call you a troll if you unmask them."Feb 15 18:28
schestowitzBut wait, what does OpenBSD say about GNU? Don't you think it's mutual? :-)Feb 15 18:29

schestowitz@Cronos 'hate' is an imprecise term, and its use, in my opinion, is lazy and counterproductive. Surely educated people can reach for more eloquent expressions? :)Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzNow, back to your regular discussion. I appreciate your expanding my perspective a bit. Perhaps you are right--the GNU people are guilty of being incendiary and unsympathetic to your position. I'm happy to learn and compromise.Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzThe OpenBSD copyright policy (http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html) describes their stance on the GPL thusly:Feb 17 03:57
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.openbsd.org | OpenBSD Copyright PolicyFeb 17 03:57
schestowitz"[On freedom 2] ...while this may superficially look like a noble strategy, it is a condition that is typically unacceptable for commercial use of software. So in practice, it usually ends up hindering free sharing and reuse of code and ideas rather than encouraging it. As a consequence, no additional software bound by the GPL terms will be considered for inclusion into the OpenBSD base system."Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzMaybe this is a why people unfairly lump *BSD licenses into the "collusion with Microsoft" category, because the source code can be incorporated in non-free (using 'free' loosely) products?Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzSome interesting discussion here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/49906/why-is-freebsd-deprecating-gcc-in-favor-of-clang-llvm/49970#49970Feb 17 03:57

schestowitz"Feb 17 03:57
schestowitz"Feb 17 03:57
schestowitz@sticks_us@nerdpol.ch , there's more to it. And yes, I think 'hate' is an applicable term.Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzThere is a certain evangelical quality to Richard Stallman, GNU, and GPL that should rub anyone who is skeptical about religion entirely the wrong way. Mike MacGirvin, the original developer of ~friendica, reported that he was harassed and threatened for refusing to adopt GPL.Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzAt the same time, some continuing ~friendica GPL developers maintain that they cannot participate in a GPL project because it would inhibit adoption in their commercial environments. Mike was, at this point, preferring to focus on red#, so he has now all but left the project.Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzNot all of this is animosity between developers. Some of this comes from corporate lawyers who look at GPL and see themselves having to defend against lawsuits in a realm where precedent has been poorly established. And they aren't listening to Richard Stallman.Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzAnd for most of us who have been around for over a decade, the license wars are old. Really old. They're tiresome. They're dull. They're lame. I frankly don't want to hear about them anymore and anyone who insists on putting them in my face is going to get a very rude response.Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzBecause, frankly, the best analogy to these license wars is the Muslim claim that the Catholic trinity (Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost) means that Catholics are not monotheistic. These disputes will never be settled.Feb 17 03:57
schestowitzAnd the only sane thing to do is live and let live. But it is the Richard Stallman, GNU, and GPL fanatics who refuse to do this.Feb 17 03:57

schestowitzWhen I worked at Tower.com (before the liquidation) I was excited about learning C# and working to convert the site from VBScript. Then I learned PHP and soaked that up. I left before the conversion began and never played with C# again, until I took another corporate programming gig in 2008 at another Microsoft shop. I've since done everything I can to stay away from it. I focus now on front-end development. I found C# to be bloatedFeb 19 18:05

schestowitz@The establishment of Israel and flood of Jewish refugees from Europe and the Arab world presented challenges and opportunities for kibbutzim. The immigrant tide offered kibbutzim a chance to expand through new members and inexpensive labour, but it also meant that Ashkenazi kibbutzim would have to adapt to Jews whose background was far different from their own.

schestowitz"Is probably right that president will ignore this ruling. Is probably also right that will now also try to make harder life for anyone who is enemy. President is for two more years now and probably can ignore unless national presses and governments ask what is happening, what are you doing with fundamental right? But too many other scandals now."Feb 20 10:33
schestowitz"I'm very proud for our Dutch judiciary."Feb 20 10:34
schestowitz"Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzThere is a further interesting judgement rendered by the Regional Court Berlin (Landgericht Berlin) in SUEPO-Berlin ./. Federal Republic of Germany having the case number 28 O 25/14. Unfortunately, the judgement seems not to be publicly available.Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzSUEPO-Berlin claimed damages from Germany, because Germany did not oppose to the new strike rules in the administrative council. Theretofore, SUEPO-Berlin relied on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFR-EU).Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzThe Regional Court Berlin assumed jurisdiction, because Germany cannot rely on the immunity provisions of the EPC and the immunity protocol, and held the action admissible.Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzHowever, the Regional Court Berlin rejected the action as unfounded, because on the one hand the CFR-EU cannot be applied as the EPO is an international organization and not an EU institution. On the other hand, the court questioned that the claimed damages directly derive from the new strike rules.Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzIn my opinion, the second reason to reject the action may be justified. However, I am not so sure concerning the first one. In my view, the CFR-EU should be applicable at least via Art. 125 EPC.Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzI would appreciate that SUEPO publishes the decisions no matter whether they are in SUEPO's favor or not.Feb 20 10:34
schestowitz"Feb 20 10:34
schestowitz"Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzIn the discussion of the main appeal (filed by the Dutch branch of SUEPO) the court observed that the EPO never disputed that a Dutch court could take cognizance of the case, because the EPO has exclusively invoked immunity, rather than a lack of international jurisdiction. From this the court concludes that Dutch courts are competent to hear the case (point 4.5.Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzAnother interesting point can be found in the discussion of the cross-appeal file by the EPO (points 3.10 and 3.11): the court first observes that, although SUEPO de facto has no access to an alternative relief (because of the pendency times at the ILOAT), this does not necessarily mean that Art. 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The court then states that, under the circumstances of the case, SUEPO's claim that its Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzfundamental right to carry out collective negotiations is systematically violated by the EPO is prima facie not unfounded: hence, invoking immunity, as the EPO does, is disproportionate. Again, the court derives from this conclusion its right to take cognizance of the case. Under point 3.11 the court then observes that the argument advanced by the EPO that the EPO itself is not a party to the ECHR and, as such, is not bound to it, Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzfails: Dutch courts are obliged to guarantee the rights enshrined in the ECHR for anyone who comes under their jurisdiction (which is the case for the Dutch branch of SUEPO: the court notes that the EPO never disputed that the Dutch branch of SUEPO is subject to Dutch jurisdiction). In case of conflict between the provisions of the Protocol on Immunity and those of the ECHR, the court has to decide which provisions prevail. The Feb 20 10:34
schestowitzcourt concludes that the Protocol has to give way to the ECHR. Interesting stuff...Feb 20 10:34
schestowitz"Feb 20 10:34
schestowitz"A full translation may help as my understanding of 3.7 to 3.9 was that Suepo did not get delayed justice but, rather, has no access to ILO as only individuals have standing, not associations et al. This EPO could not rely on providing a type of that route which does not allow a union access at all. "Feb 20 10:34
schestowitz"If a court can lift diplomatic immunity of a whole international organisation, then surely it must be able also to lift the diplomatic immunity of individuals active in that organisation."Feb 20 10:34

schestowitzWell, I had been pondering whether or not to participate in the demonstration on 25 February, midday.Feb 21 19:23
schestowitzBB has just made up my mind for me: I'll definitely be there to exercise my democratic rights (even in the unlikely event that I should be the only one there!) Feb 21 19:23
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:23
schestowitz"    For the anon@14:32: you won't be alone! See you there.'Feb 21 19:23
schestowitz"    There must be a huge turnout at the GB consulate. As many staff, and Munich based attorneys, as possible. Strength in numbers. Enough with this authoritarian rubbish.'Feb 21 19:23
schestowitz"    Well technically, only the organisers are at risk. Pour encourager les autres..."Feb 21 19:23
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:24
schestowitzBB's letter is actually pretty remarkable, a long rambling word salad desperately trying to establish a link between some vague articles in the service regulations and examiner's right to demonstrate for their rights in public and in their spare time (which they have done multiple times in the past without being disciplined).Feb 21 19:24
schestowitzThe letter accuses the SUEPO chair of displaying an "attitude which by exercising inappropriate public pressure undermines the independence of the delegations". The UK delegation in the AC is of course not independent and unaccountable, but serves at the pleasure of the UK government. It would be interesting to hear what that government has to say about attempts to suppress peaceful demonstrations, maybe somebody on this blog is Feb 21 19:24
schestowitzbased in the UK...? Feb 21 19:24
schestowitz'Feb 21 19:24
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzWhile it's all very nice for people to stand up for their democratic rights, as several have stated they will, but please allow me to point out that someone has organised the demo and it would seem their head is going to be on the block if it takes place. Is that what those standing up for their rights want? Surely those who applied to the German authorities for the demo to be allowed to take place should have a say in whether they Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzsuffer for it. And if they choose to cancel it, what is the situation then for those standing up for their rights?Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzIt would seem we have the interesting constellation that a Dutch citizen may be threatened for carrying out an action authorised by the German state in connection with the British consulate. It would be interesting to hear what the respective governments have to say about this - even if the EPO is not touched per se. Feb 21 19:25
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzWorth reading the whole letter. There is also a 'it's none of your business' what your betters do in the letter which can also be a shot across the bows of the BoA and Suepo The Hague I.e. Don't you dare make contact with national authorities or the member states etc. Maybe also a dig at CIPA? The letter was sent to one person of Suepo Munich but BB published it on the EPO intranet for all staff to see.Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzStrangely, he hasn't referred to the Dutch case yet... Feb 21 19:25

schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzLet me see. Unions criticizing management is part of normal union activity and belongs to the fundamental principles of a democratic, lawful society. The EPO cannot opt out of that. That is one of the things the court in The Hague said yesterday. To respond by trying to limit union activity would perhaps be contempt of court, if it was in the same country. It does look to me as though such an attempt does much more to bring the Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzorganization into disrepute than any union criticism could.Feb 21 19:25
schestowitzIs it not the case that when no one dares be seen as an organizer, an organizer is not needed if you have a hashtag? Feb 21 19:25
schestowitz'Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    On second thoughts, there are many thousands of examiners, formalities clerks, lawyers, highly educated and skilled, who are the organization. It is himself, the president brings into disrepute."Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    Has Mr Battistelli really threatened staff with disciplinary measures? Well, here's a suggestion, why don't you all go to the demo wearing ski masks or Guy Faukes masks. This will draw an even bigger attention from the media!"Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    To this U.S. based observer, the Charley Foxtrot continues."Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    Batti-man should join the demonstration himself if he wants his opinion to be heard or come by with his presidential limousine"Feb 21 19:26
schestowitz"    It is very sad indeed that EPO has become a rogue organization in hands of the current management. The EPO and the BoAs did a great service to Europe in harmonizing and developing patent law. The present trends are destroying much of what was achieved in the past. It´s time that the member states react and put an end to this situation."Feb 21 19:27
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzIf the AC continues to cover the backs of EPO management, BB can continue to stick two fingers up to the judges of any single Member State, whatever they say.Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzSUEPO it was (I suppose) that asked Munich city fathers for permission to protest in public, in front of the UK Consulate. That would be the quiet little residential street in Bogenhausen, I suppose. Moehlstr I believe, next door to the Italian Consulate and two doors down from the Russian one. No road traffic problems that I can imagine. Are EPO employees shouting rowdies, likely to be a public nuisance or a threat to the peaceful Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzresidents in that street? Surely not. I think that HMG and the British public should take it as a compliment, that SUEPO puts its faith in the UK to do something at AC level. In Germany today, one often hears mention of "the Fairness Principle". Readers, where did they get that notion from, and why do they express the idea in English?Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzIn the face of BB's threat to discipline the organisers of the protest, either SUEPO cancels the Feb 25 public protest, or it does not. If it does, then I suppose the way is clear for BB to go after any EPO employee who dares to protest. Expect cameras everywhere, on the day.Feb 21 19:28
schestowitzIf SUEPO does not cancel, well then its officers remain the to-be-disciplined "organisers" aren't they? Feb 21 19:28
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:28
schestowitz"    Baghdad Benny strikes again. In the history of the EPO no other president has "managed" to irrevocably damage the reputation of the office. His latest letter threatening the staff is breathtakingly hypocritical. By disclosing the contents of the letter he knows there will be outrage amongst the staff. I am not convinced that he cares all that much whether or not there is a demonstration in front of the British consulate in Feb 21 19:29
schestowitzMunich. He is using the anger of the staff as a lever on Suepo. If the staff demonstrate he will discipline the organizers, as we know suspensions or worse are to be expected. If the intimidation is successful the demonstration will be called off and he has shown Suepo who is boss. Win-win situation in his view.Feb 21 19:29
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:29
schestowitz"Feb 21 19:30
schestowitzThe questions are now, how to get rid of the President, how to get rid of the council, how to avoid a complete EPO implosion?Feb 21 19:30
schestowitzUntil now BB has had the life easy because the staff, for sense of service towards the European public, by naivety, cowardice, egoism and also because it is not its traditional culture, has not used the only weapon that can arm BB, the production.Feb 21 19:30
schestowitzSeveral highly experienced colleagues are already anticipating their departure on pension to leave the boat before it sinks totally.Feb 21 19:30

schestowitzIt remains, however, a considerable stretch of the imagination that, amongst the political masters of any civil service hack on the AC, any of them will see this as worthy of their attention.Feb 21 19:32
