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:

There will be some merchandise on sale to support the FSF, and 
donations to the FSF are welcome, but voluntary.

Best regards,

James
