[dundee] Open source debate

[Holford-Lovell, Donna]

HI Gary

Just wondering if you are available for tonight debate - Digital Freedom

Best Donna

NEoN Debate - Digital Freedom

Our final debate will look at digital freedom and will ask actually what does that statement mean or should mean? And do people know how to protect their freedom in a digital age?

As the digital age transforms society we become use to greater democracy and transparency but when they come under attack, who defends them? How do we negotiate the issues of freedom of expression and creativity on something as complex as the Internet?  Join an expert panel, including Tim Dobson from the group Digital Freedom in Education and Youth, to discuss digital freedom.

Venue: GeneratorProjects, 25 Mid Wynd Ind Est., Dundee
Date: 26th October 2010
Time: 6pm - 8pm
