Let me comment
on this Andrew.
In this
case, I don't think "they" exist. At least I have never met "them" in the
EP.
If "they"
would exist, it would mean that there
is a group of people promoting Free Software in the EP in parallel
with EPFSUG, without telling the folks* in
EPFSUG about it.
Actually, here, I think that "they" are rather "us" than "them", just as I
think that ACTA was not stopped by "them" - it was
killed by us.
But speaking of "them", I can assure you
that the EP
Bureau's
software
procurement is not prepared by us:

But they
will buy it with our tax money.
