Alex Hudson (Association For Free Software, FSFE friend, stratagia.co.uk)
has posted a report to fsfe-uk, which is visible at
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.fsf.uk/4812

I volunteered and I understand other suitable people were there. I
didn't hear anything back. Alex reports that no statements were put
from SPI, FSF, debian or anyone else. Was any offer taken up? If
not, why not?

Happily, it sounds like the event hit against the new licence anyway.
