<p class=MsoNormal>If we use Twitter to organise, copyleft for our output,
netwar concepts to take action, or campaign on net neutrality, IP law etc, do
we fit the remit of the electron club? (I count myself as a member.)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Concepts of "free" are deeply political. FOSS is
deeply political, mapping is deeply political. Is the Electron Club only for
"practical", ie. instrumental projects? If you ignore the politics of
what you are doing I worry you will be taken for a ride at some point.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I'd tend to agree that the original email is off-topic for
this list.<br>
<br>
However, the event is being hosted at the CCA, so I'd give this one the<br>
benefit of the doubt.<br>
