[hackerspaces] Terabyte dinner device, 29th of may

[Koen Martens]

Terabyte dinner device workshop

   On May 29th, 2010 the terabyte dinner device project
invites interested parties to [1]Revelation Space in The
Hague, NL for a brainstorming and kick-off workshop to
design the citizens answer to ACTA, internet monitoring,
content filtering, net neutrality sabotage, criminalization
of various behaviour and technology related to downloading
and other dangers to the free exchange of content. We are
taking the flow of information off-line again, out of reach
of the content conglomerates.  The return of the
[2]sneakernet, 2.0 stylee!

   Invite some friends over for a nice meal, have them bring
an external 1TB hard-drive each and hook them up to your
Terabyte Dinner Device.  Enjoy the food and the company, and
when the evening ends each of you will have at least 750GB
of new content, software or literature. All in crisp digital
quality. And without leaving a trace that might implicate
you for committing the horrendous crime of exchanging
information.

   At the [3]eth0 summer event in August 2010 participants
are invited to built their own TBDD, after which the first
terabyte dinners may take place right there and then! Some
of the more important design goals: easy to use (even your
grandmother should be able to organise a terabyte dinner),
using off-the-shelf components, easy to assemble, low energy
consumption for terabyte picknicks in the park and a small
form factor for maximum portability.

   More information about the project, initiated by
[4]Revelation Space, the [5]Hxx foundation and [6]eth0, can
be found on the [7]revspace wiki.

   If you are into embedded systems, electronics, product
design, user interaction or just have a creative mind in
general, please come over and join the revolution in content
sharing!

   When: May 29th, 2010, 14:00 hours.  Where: [8]Revelation
Space, The Hague, NL Workshop page: TBDDWorkshop
