Last year the Commission failed to wind up the European Cybersecurity agency ENISA in the course of the Telecom package debate. Now Udo Helmbrecht from the BSI will take over the lead of ENISA and hopefully transform the placebo agency from Crete into a useful public institution.

The patent situations moves quickly again and you don’t have the time to analyse and comment on all issues. Bruce Perens helps out with a great article about the FAT situation. I could not agree more. I wonder how long it will take to mainstream that view in the States. There is another rather personal point to add about the FAT patent (that was invalidated in Germany for good reasons): These persons ought to be ashamed!
