Florian Mueller, one of my acquaintances from MySQL has been nominated for his work against European Software Patents as European of the year. Pretty heady!

He mentions the Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII) in a statement. At OSCON this year, I had the pleasure of meeting Hartmut Pilch, the president of the FFII. He seems like a good guy and he is single-minded about his convictions.

If you feel, as I do, that Florian would make a better European Of The Year than UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, vote for him here:
