Next week we have two great opportunities for free software activists to get out and make a difference.
Washington, DC Tuesday, January 26th 8:45am-10:45am ITIF, 1101 K Street, Washington, DC 20005, Suite 610 Help us counteract misinformation! Anti-commons pundit Milton Mueller will give a speech on "info-communism" and what he thinks is wrong with free software -- we want volunteers on hand with literature to educate attendees about what free software really is and why user freedom is critical for a free society. Please send a note to [email protected] to let us know you're coming! San Francisco Wednesday, January 27th, 9:45am-1pm (times are approximate, we don't know how late this event will run yet) Yerba Buena Arts Center Theater in Downtown San Francisco Join us for a Defective by Design protest of the latest DRM'ed Apple product! Given Apple's history, the new product they're unveiling will undoubtedly impose DRM and restrict software freedom. We want to be on hand to educate attendees and passers-by, and to direct media attention to how Apple's plans impact user freedom. Please send a note to [email protected] to let us know you're coming! We'll announce more details in the coming days on defectivebydesign.org and http://identi.ca/group/dbd. Remember volunteering is even more fun when you do it with a friend, so bring someone with you! Thanks for supporting free software, John Sullivan
