And three of the directors work for Aberdeen University - have we taken a stance to agree with Aberdeen University? What 57N collectively does/agrees with/says is different from what individual or groups of members or directors do. We have run cryptoparties. We have organised cryptography related workshops. I see a big difference between sharing information on technology (part of the founding purpose of the space) and campaigning on political issues.

Re: [57north-discuss] 57N taking political positions
I agree with Rob on this issue, the space as an organisation should not have a stance on anything that does not affect the space directly. if we choose to go down the route of supporting/opposing drafts, this may put people off joining the space, as they believe that the space is not a place to come and play with things, but a political activist group. It's acceptable for space members and directors to have opinions. They made be radical, but they are allowed to voice them as they wish within reason. This should, however, not colour the space and it's decisions in any way. = If it's not broken, take it to bits until it is - Enterobsidian This is a NSA and GCHQ proof email - Content so boring that no one will read it. ___ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss
