Hey guys, via Danny O'Brien from Noisebridge: Fellow hacker Gent Thaçi is visiting San Francisco from Kosovo, one of the youngest countries in the world (in almost every sense of "young") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo#Declaration_of_independence He offered to give an informal talk at Noisebridge about the tech community in Kosovo, and his work creating software freedom there. Noted journalist, author, sudoroomian and hat-wearer Cyrus Farivar from Ars Technica and I will be SCRUPULOUSLY CROSS-EXAMINING Gent about global geek culture, and what it is like working on technology independence in a newly independent state. Like last week's awesome PyPy talk, this will be taking place in the main hackitorium, just before Noisebridge's Tuesday meeting. Come for the discussion, stay for the bureacracy-making! http://www.flossk.org/ https://gentt.wordpress.com/ d. -- Cyrus Farivar "suh-ROOS FAR-ih-var" Journalist and radio producer | cyrusfarivar.com (http://cyrusfarivar.com) Author, "The Internet of Elsewhere" | internetofelsewhere.com (http://internetofelsewhere.com) US: +1 510 394 5485 (m) | Twitter/Skype: cfarivar "Being a good writer is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted by the Internet." cfarivar(a)cfarivar.org (mailto:cfarivar@cfarivar.org)
