Wizards of OS 3
The Future of the Digital Commons
June 10 - 12, 2004
Berlin Congress Center
http://wizards-of-os.org/
In four weeks, the international conference Wizards of OS 3 will be
held in the Berliner Congress Center. For three days, 80 specialists
from 23 countries will be considering and exchanging views on the
future of our digital commons. Programmers, artists, scientists and
activists will present their projects, conduct workshops and discuss
with participants ways in which free software, free content, free
networks and open archives can be productively applied towards a new
order of knowledge.
WOS 3 will present examples of successful projects which share this
aim, examples that may inspire emulation and further development,
such as Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, and the Simputer,
with its free hardware design. Just as our natural environment
survives only due to the efforts of a now powerful movement, our
digital environment needs similar protection from privatization.
Addressing the global challenge of a united movement for the freedom
of knowledge will be, among others, Lawrence Lessig, founder of the
Creative Commons initiative, Charlotte Hess, commons researcher, and
Eben Moglen, professor of law and author of the GPL.

The Home Unix Machine Brisbane Users Group exists to get fellow
Unix users in contact with each other, to introduce people to
Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and to help users in
operating those systems. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Meetings tend to be informal. We socialize, discuss Unix and
computing, solve Unix problems for new and experienced users
alike and, these days, have regular talks.
Date: Saturday, 22nd May 2004 (every second Saturday)
Time: From 3pm with the network up 30 minutes after we are
granted entry. The network will be brought down after
midnight to allow time to clean up for a 1am exit.
