Hi all As promised, here are the details of the Free Bassel event on Friday.
Feel free to send it on to anyone you know who might be interested - we're not looking for hundreds of people, but we don't want anyone to be left out. This Friday, 15 March, is the one-year anniversary of the detainment in Syria of Bassel Khartabil, a prominent open sourcer, creative commoner, and general free culture advocate. It’s also the second anniversary of the start of the conflict in Syria. The FREEBASSEL project ( http://freebassel.org) has declared it a day of worldwide events and activities to honor and draw attention to Bassel's incarceration. As part of Free Bassel Day, CC, Wikimedia and EFF are teaming up for drinks and activities to honor Bassel. Where: Wikimedia offices - 149 New Montgomery Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco When: Friday 15 March 5pm-7pm What: drinks, snacks, Free Bassel crafts, and a Freed Bassel photo shoot Bring: bring food, drink and your love of the open web RSVP: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3556576817 (if you can, so we have an idea of numbers) If you can't make it to San Francisco, find out about the other many events going on around the world - Paris, Beijing, Amsterdam, Hong Kong - at freebasselday.org. Or the site has tons of idea about how you can commemorate Bassel on your own - make a poster, edit wikipedia, tweet something.
