Dear All,
Richard Stallman will speak on “A Free Digital Society” in
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala on 16 January 2014 at 11.30 am. (venue:  Mascot
Hotel, Thiruvananthapuram). His lecture is being organised by Kerala Union
of Working Journalists and Society for Promotion of Alternate Computing and
Employment (SPACE). His lecture marks 10 years of SPACE, a collective that
promotes free software for social development.

Stallman’s speech will focus on issues of digital surveillance that
undermine the foundations of a democratic society. To commemorate the
occasion of GNU completing 30 years and SPACE 10 years, the free software
community in the city will hold an exhibition on free software and free
knowledge. The exhibition will be held on Education Freedom Day, which
falls on 18 January 2014. The exhibition will focus on free software and
free hardware for education and privacy
protection. Various free software groups like Fedora, Mozwomen,HackerSpace
will present their free knowledge initiatives.
