CALL 4 NODES - BE A PART, DON'T BE APART :: hackmeeting 2005
hackmeeting 2005 | 16.09.2005 19:06 | Education | Social Struggles | Technology
This message is a call for YOUR participation into the 2005 edition
of the Hackmeeting which is taking place this October at Menorca (Spain).
We are looking forward receiving proposals for nodes of
work/activism/difusion/conferences and, as is getting usual, a network
of activities and encounters in and around hacktivism, cyberspace,
telecommunications and its technopolitical dimensions, during a full
(and free) weekend.
We've switched from the traditional call4papers to the call4nodes where
the attendants are not restricted to just papers but to a wider range
of media (workshops, conferences, 360º tables, expositions, posters, etc)
that build-up the so-called nodes.

This message is a call for YOUR participation into the 2005 edition
of the Hackmeeting which is taking place this October at Menorca (Spain).
We are looking forward receiving proposals for nodes of
work/activism/difusion/conferences and, as is getting usual, a network
of activities and encounters in and around hacktivism, cyberspace,

(and free) weekend.

that build-up the so-called nodes.
As you already may know, the HM is actually a participative event where
the breach between organizer and public melts dilluted into the necessity of
collectively auto-managing the event. Thus we are looking for you!
This year, the hackmeeting is being developed along the constant struggle of
the liberation and finding of spaces for knowledge circulation.
In the physical aspect, we won the sue por the illegal deallocation of the CSOA
(Centro Social Okupado Auto-Gestionado - Auto Managed Social Center or AMSC)
Labo03 [1]; at the european parliament we also won the refusal of the software
patents law; at the cyberspace, our virtual meeting point, we are celebrating
the constant increase of our community [2] and that of more robust, stable and
of course, free systems. There are still efforts trying to set up 1984's-alike
control systems around us, such as the Data Retention [3] which implementation,
given the case it was approved at the EU parliament, would store about 4 years
of Internet and telephone traffic even off mobiles.
During our constant work for the creation of places for collective experimentation,
knowledge difusion and sharing of abilities, we often clash against bureaucratically
compiled programs designed to end all this kind of activities up: these materialized
into police forces and estate agencies which execute inexistent judicial orders that
have already obliterated the AMSC "L'Estella" from Mataró [4] --where the
hackmeeting was going to take place this year-- that has been relocated at the AMSC
"La Fibra" [5], and as well the AMSC "Llucalari" from Menorca was taken over,
which has been also relocated to Biniancolla (Menorca) and is currently under
deallocation menace.
Growing under the counter-culture movement, the HackMeetings defends the right to
experiment in freedom, to open up new spaces of colletive creation and to overpass
our individual limitations by the reconstruction and (auto)management of the
preexistent social codes and spaces.
