will initiate a discussion on the activities so far, the ups and downs

of Talk: "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security
for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing"<br><br>Abstract:<br>Everyone wants a
piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T,
Bing. They'll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web
hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you can't
wait to let them. They'll store your stuff, they'll organize your
photos, they'll keep track of your appointments, as long as they can
watch. It all goes into the "Cloud."<br>
<br>How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as
getting out again. This talk will discuss how much worse things have
become since the pre-cloud era and explain what you can do to reclaim
your freedom in the era of Web 2.0.</font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial" size="2">I cordially invite you all to come and
celebrate software freedom day along with us during these events. <br></font></p>
