Well, Mayo, I'm not sure whether to bring my Ancee Zero Band WSF 
Alternative Non-Receiver to have shoes thrown at it, or to use it as a 
shoe to throw at somebody or something.

But I AM bringing it (there are presently two in the house I am staying 
in, in (sorry, can't mention where in case the US bombs it or the 
Israelis put a wall round it and then bomb it).

I am hoping that, if I persist, my Ancee will become a treasured 
movement artefact and be auctioned at an unimaginable price in 
use-value tokens, which I will then pass on to...umm...Babel?..the 
Communications Commission?

All suggestions welcome!

Peter W

> Seminar description:  The techno-tools provided by the Social Forums seems to have limited success. The goal of this seminar is to reflect on the strategy of Social Forums regarding technology and knowledge and to analyze and learn from the distinctive organizational form on youth experiences that do an extensive use of the new technology, such as Wikipedia and the Open/Free Software projects. Members of the Communications and web working groups of different Social Forums will be present together with people connected to the experiences of technological innovation and the Free Culture movements and movements for the universal access to knowledge.
