Marko Ulvila is a senior activist engaged with a
number of movement groups and
NGOs. One of his interest is the struggle for freedom of knowledge and
information. For this reason he is an active proponent of free software. In
2000-2002 he was a special advisor to minister for development cooperation,
Ms. Satu Hassi (greens) who initiated the study on free software in
developing countries. Now he is engaged with a Finnish NGO Coalition for
Environemnt and Development which is co-organising a number of worksops for
Mumbai WSF. Although free software is not on the agenda of CED, Marko is keen
to get in touch with the Indian activists in this field. As a linux user
since 1998 he is keen to deepen his knowledge of and expand his contacts with
the members of the community. He will be in India from beginning October to
end of January. marko.ulvila(a)kaapeli.fi
