[ILUG] Irish Authors of Free software (was RMS: KDE in violation of GPL)

[Brady, Padraig]

I strongly agree that there should be a Projects
section on www.linux.ie, where you can display
the list by Author or project name.

Links could be made to cork.linux.ie etc. where
appropriate, which has made a good start.

Padraig.
