| 
| All,
| 
| Dr Richard Stallman, president of the Free Software Foundation, will be
| in Leeds on the 23rd August 2011 to give a talk, "For A Free Digital
| Society".
| 
|   "Activities directed at "including" more people in the use of digital
|   technology are predicated on the assumption that such inclusion is
| invariably
|   a good thing.  It appears so, when judged solely by immediate
| practical
|   convenience.  However, if we also judge in terms of human rights,
| whether
|   digital inclusion is good or bad depends on what kind of digital
| world we are
|   to be included in.  If we wish to work towards digital inclusion as a
| goal,
|   it behooves us to make sure it is the good kind."
| 
| nti Leeds have genreously secured a suitable venue at Leeds
| Metropolitan University.
| 
| The talk starts at 7pm and is expected to last around two hours, with
| time for questions afterwards.
| 
| Entrance is free but registration is required at the following
| EventBrite page:
| 
| http://rmsleeds.eventbrite.com/
| 
| There will be some merchandise on sale to support the FSF, and
| donations to the FSF are welcome, but voluntary.
| 
| 
| Best regards,
| 
| 
| James
