[AktiviX] WTF : WTF's The Future -- http://wtfcon.org/

[Chris]

Hi

Do people know about this?

  The very first WTF, an open space conference of various
  grassroots projects, people, and organisations will be
  happening from 11am onwards on Saturday, 27th of March @
  the 491 Gallery, London, UK.

  It will be followed by a party in the nite with live
  bands and some film screenings on the side.

  Come and help create the world you want!

  "a social forum, open space, meeting or conference is
  not really open unless people who are unable to attend,
  are able to participate, before, during and after the
  event, and an open public archive is created." - esp &
  uniteddiversity.

  What is WTF?!

  * An open space gathering and conference of various
    grassroots projects, people, and organisations
    interested in creating a better world.
    
  * An assembly of gifts and needs: tell everyone
    what your projects are all about, what they have to
    offer, and what they need. Together we have
    everything. Let's self-organise and share.
    
  * Action and not just talk. Too many social
    forums and gatherings result with little or no
    outcome.
     
  * About working together, despite our
    diverse goals. No more either or!
