Starting tonight in New York: Gatherings to defend the private and tribal and public ‘Net

10
This weekend on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, there will be a
conference on the past, present, and continuing assaults against our
Ancient Rights: our right to own computers, our right to freely publish our
works, our right to freely assemble upon the Great Commons of the Net, our
right to privately communicate over the Fast Pipes of the Net, our right to
freely make and modify and distribute operating systems and all manner of
software and hardware.

This conference is open to the public, and there is a small money price to
attend.

I, Jay Sulzberger, will be on one of the panels on Saturday 28 September
2002.

The name of this conference is “Discuss and Deploy”. We will talk, and we
will eat, and we will drink together. And, in the coming weeks and months,
we will act.
