Subject: [Chester LUG] Open Rights Group : Digital Economy Bill - Manchester,
	23rd Jan
Message-ID: <4B47BFA4.2090005@tdobson.net>

I've just found out that The Open Rights Group are running an event on
the 23rd of January at Madlab in Manchester to help the campaign against
the Digital Economy Bill.
--

The Open Rights Group wants to help you get your voice heard: by helping
you to talk to your MP. Booking an appointment with your MP and saying
what you think is easier than you might think.

At this event you will:

    * Gain the confidence to talk and write to your MP
    * Rehearse talking to your MP one on one
    * Find out what MPs will ask you
    * Learn how to write to your MP and get a response
    * Meet other people campaigning against disconnection without trial
in the Digital Economy Bill

Talking to your MP is the most effective way to make sure Parliament
knows how unpopular and bad disconnection without trial really would be.

In these short sessions, you can try out talking to your MP or watch
someone else having a go, and learn how to get your points across in a
way that an MP will understand.

To book, please use these form:

http://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/2010/how-to-talk-to-your-mp-training-days

---

See you there!

Tim

P.S. Obviously, if you support the Digital Economy Bill and want
families to be cut off without trial, you needn't attend. No bad
feelings! :)

It is a good-un yeah. Challenging someone to break a product on live TV is
just asking for trouble. I hope he got his free phone hehe :)

I assume they mean break it accidentally, angle grinders or explosives
spring to mind if you really wanted to break it.

I'll pop along. Might be a bit late, I have some uniform to drop off at squadron, but I'll be there. I'll bring my Macbook Pro and my Vodafone USB dongle and I'll hopefully be able to provide a WiFi hotspot for people to use on their devices :)

I won't be late, rather I'll be there exactly when I intend to be, 
later. I have beer-related matters to attend to up the road.

I may bring some sarcasm and dry wit, though I may hazard a guess 
there will be beaten to it.

See yuwl seev-nin'.

I apologise to all for not turning up. I went down to cadets to drop a few things off and ended up staying the night. 30+ kids are a hand full hehe.

I hope I didn't miss too much. I really wanted a good look at that N900. I hope I can make it down next time.

It runs Maemo <http://maemo.org> which is basically Debian. Nokia have put
Maemo on their Internet tablets for a while but this is the first phone. You
get root access and you can even install stuff with apt-get if you want.
I've added a few custom repos. It's pretty cool. Completely unlocked, even
the ones on contract from Vodafone are unlocked. It'll run any Python GTK or
Qt apps. I installed Vim and QEmacs in the pub to let the guys play with
them.

Enough advertising though, I'm not on commission honest and I'm fast
becoming a Maemo bore :)

See ya,

Dan

Vodafone don't sell locked handsets anymore, unless the handset is locked because of a legal contract with the manufacturer and or because of some exclusive deal.

That sounds amazing though, Dan! How much did it cost? If you're on a Vodafone contract mate, I can give you one of my eight 30% discount slots on your monthly bill if you like?

Long story. The handset costs £500 new from Nokia or you can get it on a £35
a month contract from Vodafone. I actually have this one on extended loan
from Nokia. They sent it to me for review before Christmas. They sent them
to a loads of Linux bloggers and developers in a marketing campaign. They
want it back though at some point sadly. In the meantime I'm having great
fun.

You can find more about it here - http://maemo.nokia.com/

Cheers,

Dan
