> Hi!!!
> 
> Since people is not sure when to join us in the Berlin Biennale, we have
> done a proposal of topics, dates and actions to spread it out and see if
> it's ok for developers and hacktivists, of course, it's open to changes
> and if people want to stay longer it will be great!!!. 
> To schedule it a bit is just to help those people that can only join us
> some days, so they can choose when to come, depending on the topic they
> are more interested in.
> 
> In between the topics there is a list of the people/collectives we are
> (trying to) contacting or we would like to be in Berlin with us, so if
> you know any of them please forward them the message and if you have
> some feedback from them just let us all know ;-) and feel free to invite
> anyone else  ;-)))
> 
> So this is the proposal now we need people to join :-P
> 
> 
> We "Divide" the participation in TGS in two types of activity:
>        Nodes (contents)
>        Actions
> 
> 
> Nodes are:
> 
> 
> 1.- TGS
> Starting date: 27 April 
> Presence: 2 months
> 
> 
> TheGlobalSquare is a decentralized social and organizational environment
> which respects privacy and transparency for individuals, public
> organizations and actions. TheGlobalSquare will consist of P2P user
> profiles which allow communication through a variety of social mediums.
> This will enable global networking between local assemblies, task groups
> and events. TheGlobalSquare will work to create secure global
> communications infrastructure and hardware to make such services widely
> available.

>        Lorea
>        Diaspora
>        call4developers
> 
> 2.- P2P
> Starting date: 7 May
> Presence: 1 week
> Entirely distributed networks are the proven way to a truly free
> network, based on cooperation among peers to define tasks, commons and
> goods. This allows for the establishment of an automomous
> decision-making process throughout the network.

>        p2pfoundation
>        Tribler
>        Bitcoin
>        Freenet
> 
> 
> 3.- Social networks
> 
> Starting date: 14 May
> Presence: 1 week
> 
> 
> Corporate social networks are the main tools that have been used during
> 2011 by Occupy and similar movements worldwide. These social networks
> have become essential to spread movement ideals and to coordinate direct
> actions. However, utilizing corporate social media is a risky option
> concerning freedom, privacy, transparency. We will introduce existing
> self-organized social networks that are based on free software
> philosophy and commons principles.

>        Diaspora
>        Social Swarm
>        Briar
>        Soukey

> 
> 4.- Privacy
> 
> Starting date: 21 May
> Presence: 1 week
> 
> 
> Why are we still communicating through unsecure corporate-owned systems
> such as Gmail, Skype and Facebook? During these last months we've seen
> the importance of privacy and anonymity in #revolutions taking place in
> Egypt, Syria and Tunisia, where unsecure dissemination puts one's life
> at a risk. We are also seeing many new corporate "privacy" policies and
> government laws that allow user data to be easily handed to third
> parties with little to no consideration for the user's rights or
> personal safety.

>        Telecomix
>        Secushare

> 
> 5.- Free culture / hacktivism
> 
> Starting date: 28 May
> Presence: 1 week
> The so-called "entertainment industry" is pressuring for laws that
> restrict access to culture and impose censorship. This violates our
> universal human right of free access to information and knowledge. We
> shall have a debate about the implications and current status of
> Internet laws such as ACTA, HADOPI, SINDEWERT, SOPA, PIPA, CISPA. We
> will also define future global strategies and campaigns to fight against
> restrictions of free information access.

> 6.- Economy of the commons
> 
> Starting date: 4 June
> Presence: 1 week
> Governments call it a crisis, but it's actually the end of an
> unecessarily destructive financial system. Other initiatives are already
> being put into practice that directly connect peers. An economy of the
> commons is now possible, where people manage the economy
> collaboratively, and where money is just a tool of facilitation.

> 
> 
> 7.- Open hardware / robotics
> 
> Starting date: 11 June
> Presence: 1 week
> Generally we talk about free software, but hardware also must become
> free so that we are no longer dependent upon corporations to produce
> patented products. In a world where much work can be automatized, we can
> begin to consider the possibility of a distributed robotic network. Such
> a system could avoid planned obsolescence and allow the world far
> greater sustainability.
> 
> 
> 8.- Social Media
> 
> Starting date: 18 June
> Presence: 1 week
> During year 2011, the #revolution has enhanced the importance of social
> media. The intensive use of social networks as communication tools means
> that anyone can become a journalist, that the people have become the
> media. We can now spread the message of our actions to the world,
> showing what is happening in each #revolution despite being ignored and
> misreported on by corporate media.
> 
> 
> DATES: End in June so that we may coincide with Brazil livemedia forum
> and connect via stream with them
> 
>        Indymedia
>        occupy comm teams
>        Wikileaks central
>        Altermet
>        Globalleaks
>        Mosireen
>        Adbusters
> 
> 
> 
> Conclusions, schedule and future events
> 
> The last week of the Biennale will be a time to reflect on the work
> done, to plan tasks and events, and to establish milestone goals for the
> near and distant future.
> Starting date: 25 June
> Presence: 1 week
> 
> 
> Actions:
