<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought you’d be interested in an event we’re hosting over here at University of Lincoln.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Richard Stallman will be speaking on the 29<sup>th</sup> November at 6pm, with the topic of “A Free Digital Society”. Richard’s speech will be nontechnical, admission is free and it is open to all members of the public. The abstract:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are many threats to freedom in the digital society. They include massive surveillance, censorship, digital handcuffs, nonfree software that controls users, and the War on Sharing. Other threats come from use of web services. Finally,
we have no positive right to do anything in the Internet; every activity is precarious, and can continue only as long as companies are willing to cooperate with it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would love to see some of you there! If you would like to attend, we would kindly ask you to register with the FSF to ensure we will be able to accommodate everyone. The registration link can be found here:
