I am a bit run down after spending yesterday outside the parliament,  
chanting. So here comes a short version:

Negatives:
- Well, mass surveilliance clearly sucks.
- We did not win.

Positives:
+ We made this law the most debated bill since the election. We have been  
campaigning against tis law since early 2007 and in the end we got a huge  
momentum rolling in the blogosphere that last week forced even reluctant  
patpers to write about it. And with allies in the ruling parties many of  
the ruling parties districts has taken a stand against the this law. We  
gathered 1500 people outside the parliament building yesterday. Can be  
seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKbYU1SmqRw
+ We have an inflow of new members and activists that are joining on the  
privacy issue.

Irc-channel meeting:
* Tomorrow is midsummer eve and most swedes will get horrendously drunk.  
Saturday everybody has a hangover. So we will in all likelyhood not be  
able to participate until sunday.
