John Adams, Waking up to an open world – 17th March

John Adams will be giving a talk called “Waking up to an open world”. The talk is based on the one he recently gave to the Manchester Linux User Group. In it John outlines the roots of free software, using wide ranging examples including American anti-war protesters and their realisation that technology can liberate as well as enslave. The talk is a call to arms as well as showing what an open world could look like.

The meeting will take place at 19:00 in the Manchester Digital Development Agency on Portland Street. More about the meetings and venue can be found on our meetings page.
