Geeks In The Peaks 9 hours, 38 minutes agoI also have to get some camping kit. The list from last year is verr helpful for this, so thanks for that
If anyone does have any 1 or 2 person gear (tent/ground sheet/matress) they want to offload, let me know as it’s better than buying new. -

Geeks In The Peaks 9 hours, 39 minutes agoAll being well I’ll be bringing along a working Quadcoptor to terrorise the local wildlife.
Does anyone have spare capacity to for a lift there/back for me?
I’m planning on travelling relatively light and will cover fuel, food, shoulder-rubs -

Open Rights Group Sheffield: 1 week, 5 days ago ago · updated 1 week, 3 days ago agoDo we have a thread on ‘what’s next’ in relation to the discussions about Richard O’Dwyer that I am not seeing? If so then please ignore this and enlighten me.. If not, then I wondered if anyone had had any bright ideas in terms of online campaigns.
I’ve pooled my Sheffield resources and a few other bits, as well as dusted off a campaigns…[Read more]

I remember @guru dropped into the post-meeting conversation a great refinement to @ericapackington‘s online direct-action idea (mentioned in the thread below) – but I’m damned if I can remember it now
Hopefully he’ll remind us…Julia has also mentioned a couple of things off-list. I’ll see if she wants to drop in and share them…[Read more]

Ah! @guru‘s suggestion was something like a mass tweeting of a message like this:
“Retweet this for a chance to win a free holiday to the USA!!!1 http://bit.ly/blahblahblah“.
The link is to a page explaining how, if there were infringing content here instead of this message, you’d have just published a link to it therefore you could be…[Read more]

Julia O’Dwyer I like the mass tweeting idea and @ericapackington ‘s idea of a campaign hashtag. Another idea I had was about trying to get support for a couple of Billboards in London say at Westminster and on the strand near the High Court. The only thing is both Parliament & Courts will be closed all Summer. Richard suggested 38 degrees for…[Read more]

I think it would be great to get something that we could put in front of the 8 million people using the PP proxy. Think this is perhaps where linking with 38 Degrees might work well? So, we have a clear call to action that we ask them to do something about?
The challenge with the “RT THIS FOR XYZ” is that anyone with any drop of sense isn’t…[Read more]
-
Also, as there is existing pressure on teh govt with regards to extradition from lots of quarters, 38 Degrees might find it’s an issue that brings together several strands of their active communities. The challenge is that they are pretty wedded to online petitions, letters to MPs and reserve the billboard thing for massive campaigns (NHS…[Read more]

I can understand an MP’s stance. What 38 Degrees shows, it seems to me, is that it’s now easy in the world of the Internet to get a million people from the political left to sign up to a mailing list. (Often using shady tactics; I ended up on their list after signing a petition they did in collaboration with ORG, and despite complaints found it…[Read more]

Open Rights Group Sheffield: 1 week, 4 days ago ago · updated 1 week, 3 days ago agoJust a quick note to say many thanks for the ORG meeting at the Hub regarding Richard O’Dwyer. A very informative evening (I was the lawyer who knew nobody). Great to meet you all. Laura.

Open Rights Group Sheffield: 1 week, 6 days ago ago · updated 1 week, 5 days ago agoThe “what next” thread
The first Monday of June falls on a bank holiday. At our last meeting people said they’d prefer not to meet on bank holidays so we need to pick a new day for next month. Here’s a doodle to do just that. Please get stuck in!
We also need a topic and someone to introduce it. Please add your suggestions in the comments -…[Read more]
-
My topic of choice is the Communications Bill green paper and censorship of the web in general. It’s topical, controversial and eminently debatable!
-
I’d go for the Communications bill or a discussion about the potential issues with the Communications Data Bill based on what we have had today with the Queen’s Speech.

Open Rights Group Sheffield: 1 week, 6 days agoIn the spirit of continuous improvement I asked everyone at our last meeting to suggest something we could change to make the next one better. Here’s what we said:
Focus more on what we can do about the issue at hand
Create separate discussions to focus on direct action
Invite some experts in law, sociology, and local politicians to offer their…[Read more] -

Open Rights Group Sheffield: 1 week, 6 days agoMeeting notes – Extradition and Digital Rights
There was a great turn-out for our first topic-driven meeting. Thanks to the 17 people who came, but especially to Deborah Adshead and Julia O’Dwyer, as I think everyone appreciated hearing about the issues from people who are so closely involved in them.
Deborah was interviewed about the meeting on…[Read more]
