<div>I'm cureious to know what everyone else does to increase awareness. Reason being, I'm beginning to find opportunities in my area to inform the public of whatever subject I like (some mass media, some performance).</div>
<div>To this point, I've been creating a performance version of The Hacker Manifesto and should be showing in a couple weeks. Lloyd Blankenship has allowed me free reign in the past with his piece and I'm hoping he likes this use of his work. </div>
<div>I'm a hacker that has also made a mild living as a stand-up comic and musical entertainer on the side, and thats the best way I can think of to increase public awareness using the skills I have available. "Go with what you know" as they say.</div>

I find there tend to be a few Computer Hackers sprinkled among the<br>
generally accepted type of Hackerspace. SO my question to you is...<br>
<br>
Are you are Hacktivist?<br>

Although I am a member of RevSpace, I do not consider myself a hacker, but more of a maker (yes, I know the categories overlap, but that war is lost, get over it). I am a bit of an activist though.<div class="im"><br>

If so, what do you and your Hackerspace do in your community to raise<br>
awareness in changes of online rights and technology and such?<br>

I do a monthly hour on Signal (<a href="http://signal.hackerspaces.org" target="_blank">http://signal.hackerspaces.org</a>), trying to cover precisely that. If you haven't heard it yet: we (gmc does the technical side, I do the content) try to get an interesting panel of people from all over Europe (well, the USA would be welcome too, but being in Europe makes us focus a bit more on the EU obviously) to discuss developments in this field. Basically, most media start to cover policymaking in Brussels by the time it is finished, more awareness of what happens there is sorely needed.<br>
