[Fsuk-manchester] Fellowship meeting: Oct. 27th: decentralising Manchester

[Sam Tuke]

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!

Sam.
