although i had no means to attend, some attendees seem to consider me their counselor, everyone was concerned about this issue, some transparency ngo representative said it was very insulting from the google keynote to claim them being one of us. if he would be, he might have had the same problems as me, no funds to attend... my recommendation for the next okfest, more (or at least some) ethics less corrupt keynoters. my dream would be morozov as a mandatory keynoter - mandatory for every participant that is. (great work sally+javier for the little responsibility at the fringe of the event) -- otr fp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/otr.txt _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss Unsubscribe: https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/options/okfn-discuss
