[hackerspaces] Monthly Gatherings on support to P2P, free culture and network neutrality

[Yves Quemener]

I have seen a call for an open art evening (veillée de l'Art Libre) at Mus,
a small French southern town
http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=fr&geocode=&q=Mus,+Gard,+Languedoc-Roussillon&sll=43.675818,4.432983&sspn=3.380849,8.459473&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=14&iwloc=A

with exhibition of books under free licenses, picture art, free music, open
movies, etc... It is on Saturday the 4th of July. Strangely, this
information came from a book editor forum, not from a hacklab. Apparently
the recent three-strikes laws that were adopted can make the open-vs-closed
debate reach a lot of people.

Some informations in French here :

I am not sure the two events are related but given the matching dates and
the proximity to Spain, it could be very likely
