[FSFE-Manc] Fwd: [Tdwyt] Even more restrictions
by Anna Morris 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

For the FSFE they don't want you to campaign they are looking for examples of digital restrictions which have been noted in the past year. Anyone got any to add, see below. I am sure there are some great ones of late!! thinking caps on friends! A x -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tdwyt] Even more restrictions Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:57:51 +0200 From: Sam Tuke <samtuke(a)fsfe.org> Organisation: Free Software Foundation Europe To: tdwyt(a)lists.fsfe.org Hi all, For the campaign launch we will start sending digital restriction tweets from the official account on a daily basis, and we already have a long list, including translations. But most of them are at least one year old and some fresher examples would be more engaging. In case you missed the concept the first time around: each day a new tweet, plus translation(s), will be published on the @TheyDontWant account. Each tweet contains an example of an unnecessary technical restriction on users, with a link to an independent news article about it (the more widely known the source, the better). Please contribute any restrictions you've heard of recently to the pad here: https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/TheyDontWantYouTo_restrictions Best, Sam. _______________________________________________ tdwyt mailing list tdwyt(a)lists.fsfe.org https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/tdwyt

[FSFE-Manc] Cryptoparty on the 7th of December - what we need to do next
by Anna Morris 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi, so I am pretty much better now and back to planning the Cryptoparty. *Here is where we are**:* The date is booked for the 7th of December in Madlb from 2-6 The website is up but needs designing http://www.cryptoparty-mcr.org/ The flyer is nearly finished - a low-res version can be downloaded here http://ethical-pets.co.uk/themes/ethicalpets/pa_vol/flyer_lowres.jpg * **Next Meeting* We have a general planning meeting on the 4th of November from 7-9 We need to set dates for the tasks below *Next Tasks* We need a website-building sprint to get this site done, in the style of the flyer, and to get info on. Anyone want to meet *Sunday, 12:30 in nexus* to do this? Fund Raising: we can only afford the room hire at the moment, we need to raise some funds to print off the fliers and for food on the day, and travel bursaries for anyone that needs them. Does anyone have any ideas? Getting more volunteers: we are short of people who can help mac and iphone users on the day, plus we need many more people to run workshops. *Housekeeping* I made the decision to set up a separate mailing list for this event in haste, I was a bit stressed and ill at the time but I see now that for various reasons this list was not a good decision. I would like to continue the discussions about this event on the FSFE Manchester list only, if that is okay by everyone. We have only six people on the list, mostly duplicates. I will move those people over to the Manchester FSFE list, unless they object by replying to me in this email. Hope that is all okay. *Motivation* Let's get this party started!! It's going to ROCK! Best Anna

[FSFE-Manc] Fwd: Re: details update
by Anna Morris 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hi, Rachel from Madlab has said that we can have madlab for free on December the 7th for the cryptography (which gives us our 50 pounds back to spend elsewhere) and also we can have the first Monday of the month from 7-9 for our meetings again. 1) IS the 7th okay with everyone? 2) Is Monday okay with everyone for our weeknight monthly meetings A X -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: details update Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2013 12:13:04 +0100 From: MadLab Office <office(a)madlab.org.uk> To: Anna Morris <gingerling(a)inventati.org> Hi Anna We can accommodate you on the 7th. We've already got something on from 3-5pm so could do this for you for free, otherwise we would need to bring a member of staff in and it would be charged as a hire. Let me know your thoughts. Looks like the first Monday is free from November. Shall I book you in from 7-9pm? Please bear in mind that we might occasionally have to change dates to accommodate other events - but there's nothing on the horizon at this moment in time. Of course, we'll notify you well in advance.
