>In addition to related academic presentations
>(management and social organisation in the

>replace MS Windows) and how to use Free Software
>for everyday purposes, such as emailing
>(Thunderbird, Evolution), websurfing (Firefox),
>text writing (OpenOffice.org) and photo
>manipulations (GIMP), as well system security,
>privacy, encryption, and how to set up a
>�safe� computer network at home or at work.
>
>We are looking for groups who recycle computers
>to provide access to the public and for artistic installations.
>
>There will be a talk and discussions about the
>EU Software Patent Directive ( more at
>http://swpat.ffii.org/ ) and we encourage
>presentations of novel management and
>organisation within Free Software projects, as
>well as presentations of projects that use Free
>Software and associated ideas of Freedom of
>Information in their social, political, or cultural networks.
>
>Other topics we hope to include are:
>
>+ Recycling of disused/underused computers & gadgets+
>+ (Mis)appropriation of computing - hereunder perhaps a Free Hardware session.
>+ women and technology; hands-on sessions taking boxes apart,
>+ assembling them again and making them run -
>doing away with blox box mysteries; any more
>theoretical presentations or reflections on women & technology.
>+ the possibility of setting up a permanent free software lab - we
>+ need more help on this one. If you have had
>experiences related to this in academia, please get in touch.
>
>There will also be a series of discussions
>around the philosophical, legal, social and
>cultural aspect of Free Software, particularly
>the GNU GPL as a 'revolutionary' configuration
>of property rights that has given rise to a
>wider Copyleft movement, elaborated by the Creative Commons.
>
>We are also planning a workshop about how
>academic research projects can learn from
>grassroots movements' and other cyberspace
>groups' use of IT for collaborative projects
>(and knowledge creation) with the view to form a
>collective to provide such services for academic
>research projects, similar to the way in which,
>for instance, www.aktivix.org provides such services for activists.
