For more on the G8, see The Dissent Website, and Indymedia's G8 coverage. For more on Free Software see the Free Software Foundation website.

People & Planet, where I work are organizing a festival in response to the G8 countries coming to Scotland in June, this file is a flyer for that.

Joining as a fellow seems like a great way to support the work of the Free Software Foundation, Europe and learn from and network with other like-minded free software folks. You also get a nifty crypto card - review to be posted at some point in the not too distant future...

Another bit of coursework for my Philosophy of Free Software course, which is now over.
