## Before We Begin

https://freeassange.eu/#action-overview

Julian Assange is free!

Hooray! Hooray!

Please clap for those who freed and helped him.

May he live in peace and freedom.

## We Have Brothers In Thinking

https://oxygen.offdem.net/pub/free-software-under-attack-an-offdem-manifesto

  OFFDEM is open for freedom, desire, emancipation, meaning.

  Do we need such large events?

  OFFDEM vouches for decentralization, as most people only have one life
  and can achieve a limited number of projects, we do not need to be all
  at the same time at the place, let’s organize and promote smaller and
  more focused meetings on different topics aiming at practical
  achievements for the communities they support.

  Do we actually reach out to our audiences?

  The organization of small events can be done at a lower cost and in
  better conditions than amassing a large number of professionals without
  asking the question of the uses, the intentions nor the modalities of
  technical developments. Opening up to otherness consists in working in
  proximity with resistance networks, on the ground, in order to open up
  to plural realities.
