[HacktionLab] Fwd: The Luddites: An event and some help

[Mike Harris]

Hi All,

Please have a read of the email from Dave from the Luddites below.  If
you remember he came to BarnCamp last year and gave an insightful
workshop on Luddism.

There's two parts to it:

1) What if anything would we be willing and able to do at his event in
Sheffield?  He hasn't made any specific suggestion or request.  So
perhaps some workshops/talks around the TTFA/Prism stuff and also
perhaps impact of social media etc....?

Let's discuss this on the list.

2) He's looking for someone to help with developing a sign up page for
his event.  Anyone got a bit of time and the skills to be able to help
him? 

He says do get in touch with him directly if you're able and willing to
help.

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Mike,

hope you're well.  Last year at Barncamp you mentioned that you guys
might be able to set up something for our gathering, which is May
2nd-5th, near Sheffield, and I think we are interested in that.  Let me
know if that could be managed.

It occurred to me that being a techy kind of person, you might be able
to help me with something quite simple, which I can't really cope with.
 We want to set up a simple booking form for the gathering on our
wordpress blog (breakingtheframe.org.uk).  The form needs to connect to
Paypal.  There seem to be different plugins out there, which seem to be
much more elaborate than we need and cost significant amounts of money.
 Could you help with that?

Best wishes

Dave King
