Thanks for the tips, i'll forward them to the other pirates, currently our<br>
main goal is to start some real life presence (like monthly meetings) and<br>
becoming a legal party.<br>
But it's goings slowly, fortunatly the online comunity (free software,<br>
free culture,<br>
netlabels and vjs/digital artists) and the media has been kind to us, and we<br>
got some exposure.<br>
<br>
regards<br>
