From lists at tdobson.net Thu Apr 1 01:45:21 2010 From: lists at tdobson.net (Tim Dobson) Date: Thu, 01 Apr 2010 01:45:21 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] TODAY: Digital Economy Bill Flashmob, 5pm [Manchester] Message-ID: <4BB3FAA1.5050002@tdobson.net> Whilst the practicalities of the Digital Economy Bill, may seem like a complete joke, sadly this email is no April Fools Prank. As you may be aware, the Digital Economy Bill is a piece of legislation which, if put through, would have quite serious implications for Digital Industries. What is the Digital Economy Bill? --------------------------------- Whilst billed a law about preventing copyright infringement, the bill has far reaching powers, allowing the government to block websites, (social networks, wikileaks, wikipedia), at will and changing one of the basis's of UK common law in assuming you guilty until proven innocent. THe bit I find particularly unhelpful the segment that holds the subscriber of the internet service liable for all activies on that line. This is essentially the death of open wifi in cafes and bars - its just unworkable if you are liable for the actions of your patrons. Why are we protesting? ---------------------- The DEB has been written at the behest of the media industry (some clauses were actually written by the BPI) with absolutely no regard for anybody else. Furthermore, not only is this bill flawed, it is being rushed through parliament without debate using a process known as "wash up", which was intended for use on uncontroversial bills. If you're coming to the flashmob then sign up to get a "ticket" on EventBrite so we can let you know the exact location of the flashmob shortly before it begins! http://debflashmobmanchester.eventbrite.com/ We'll have plenty of flyers so just bring yourself and something to censor yourself with but we'll be providing black tape in case you can't. I'm sorry it has got to this stage, however I hope you'll join me there, Thanks, Tim Dobson -- PPUK PPC for Manchester Gorton 0161 8500 185 @tdobson http://tdobson.net From stuart.james.burns at gmail.com Fri Apr 16 08:46:42 2010 From: stuart.james.burns at gmail.com (Stuart Burns) Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2010 08:46:42 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Oggcamp (or oddcamp depending how you look at it ; ) ) Message-ID: HI Everyone, I am going to go this on at least Saturday.

Well it's not really that, I just wanted to let you know that I've found a different venue for this month's social. I've booked the top room in the Bear & Billet. It's a nice big room with two large tables, so feel free to bring your laptops / any other tech! I thought it would be good to try out somewhere different with space to ourselves (and what seems to be a nice venue). They've agreed to let us have the room for free providing we're buying drinks, anyone buying food would obviously go down well too! (It's steak night on Thursdays). If everyone is happy with it, we could hopefully make that our regular meeting place. The management have warned me that if the Thursday clashes with a big football game / other event they won't be able to let us use it, but if it's a good venue I'm willing to temporarily move for the odd one. Les p.s. For anyone who doesn't know the pub, it's just down the road from the Old King's Head at the bottom of Lower Bridge Street, so parking should be ok. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We'll be meeting in the Bear and Billet (down the road from the old venue at the bottom of Lower Bridge Street), all being well at the top floor. If you haven't been there before, there isn't a bar on the top floor so get yourself a drink as you come in! I'll be there from 7 (possibly earlier if I come straight from the office). See you tomorrow. Les -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
