The October Manchester FSFE Fellowship meeting will take this Thursday 27th at 19.00 in MadLab:

After last month's national politics focused presentation and discussion with the Open Source Consortium, this month's meeting will focus on something practical and close at hand: freeing Mancunians from centralised non-Free web services.
I shall briefly outline an idea for providing hosting of Free Software web services by using a Freedom Box located at ArcSpace community centre. This will be followed by a discussion on what could be achieved by such a project, how it could be run, what services could be provided, and who the services would target.
A broad range of views and experience are welcome and necessary, so please come along and share your thoughts. This is a new project with great potential; please help shape it in the early stages.
For more information see recent emails to the list. Last month's Fellowship interview is also recommended reading as it covers the experiences of a similar project in Sweden:

See you there!
