I would be happy to contact the contact to ask them about videoing the 
RMS talk

I think that peter is forgetting the lively discussion we had at last 
years futuresonic about whether the possibilities exist for the bottom 
up social model of open source culture to be applied to other areas of 
social and economic activity in the UK as it has worked in the barrio 
based estudio libre projects of Latin America.

Some ideas, the FSUK could think about organising complimentary events 
on the same week as the futuresonic events, such as:
showing films like  "the code" or "on piracy"
holding some free software installation workshops for beginners
Discussions on subjects such as DRM and copyright versus progressive 
licensing

In solidarity
