[HacktionLab] BradLab 2010 info... // breathless addition / edition

[mick fuzz]

ok well seeing as no-one else has done it here's some over excited copy
maybe some of it would be useful if toned down.

BradLab - An Autumn Hacktion Lab - 20-21st November

Calling all disenfranchised computer enthusiasts. Come to the latest
HacktionLab in Bradford. It's a meeting of hackers, slackers, audio jackers
and the simply cream crackers.  When it comes to radical webhosting,
innovative electronic communications, digital freedoms, command line nerdery
and behind the scenes internet radio infrastructure we won't be beaten on
price - guaranteed.

This gathering is the latest in a short line of similar gatherings. For the
last two and a half years some of the more rebelliousl end of the electronic
communication undergrowth have met up at the Hacktion labs with the goal of
sharing knowledge, drinking cider and having a laugh. Bristol wireless,
aktivix and indymedia are some of the groups involved amongst the may free
radicals who make up the mix of radical geeks.

For an overview of what's happening have a look here -

We welcome new additions to the menu - the final version of it will be
decided on the Saturday morning of the first day - but some of the elements
so far are.

* How to run a local community/activist radio station using free software:
* Anonymous blogging - tor and activist hosted websites
* Alternatives to facebook - an update on crabgrass and diaspora and other
alternative
* Web Aggregation solutions
* Campcaster overview - an open source radio scheduler
