[Dfey-nw-discuss] Reminder: Manchester Free Software Talk: Waking up to an open world - John Adams

[Lucy]

A reminder that MFS's next meeting is this Tuesday, the 17th March 2009.

John Adams will be giving a talk called "Waking up to an open world".
The talk is based on the one he recently gave to the Manchester Linux
User Group. In it John outlines the roots of free software, using wide
ranging examples including American anti-war protesters and their
realisation that technology can liberate as well as enslave. The talk
is a call to arms as well as showing what an open world could look
like.
