Notes Acta

Re-read: http://www.constantvzw.org/verlag/spip.php?page=article&id_article=110&mot_filtre=5&id_lang=0&debut_source_material=0

Interessant a relire, la charte, probablement trop generale pour labtolab, mais des points essentiels:
http://fcforum.net/

[Nicolas prepares with An] 
Can we after Hadopi, Acta, Wikileaks, the mass Googlommoration of webservices, still speak of such a thing as a public virtual space? What about rights to co-decide? Organic growth? Real participation? Censorship? After Facebook, SecondLife, Twitter, Youtube, are we meant to believe that 'sharing' and 'friends' are just euphemisms for data trade, concentration of capital and monopolism? What does a public virtual space mean for art, for sharing creative processes?
--> quelles conditions d'infrastructures digitales sont nécessaires pour l'existence du type de médialab qu'on définit? 

Budget: Lab2Lab 100€ de transport + 250€ fee & Samedies: 200€

2. Michel
passer en revue infos liés à ACTA & co sur E-traces -> voir comment identifier des sources d'informations

formuler une série de questions importantes pour les gens qui s'intéressent aux licenses libres/culture en réseau, qui utilisent l'infrastructure digitale pour créer, réfléchir...
-> voir les point problématiques
utiliser les Samedies pour confronter ces points-là au discours d'Amelia + voir les stratégies
-> rapporter mardi + lister les propositions

Autres idées:
- Je viens de découvrir (par fred peters que j'ai vu à sa conférence  gnome3)  qu'il existe une association en belgique NURPA (Net Users' Rights Protection Association), 
http://nurpa.be/  
aux  dernières nouvelles, étudiant à l'ulb  il est normalement entre  paris  et bxl - aucune idée s'il serait dispo :-) psycojoker@gmail.com
dont fait partie d'ailleurs le laurent Peuch cité dans un autre courrier  (qui avait été interviewé par sophie-radio-panik et qui se démenait beaucoup pour la quadrature du net) 
--> Denis les a vus, assez jeunes

- http://www.vub.ac.be/LSTS/members/depreeuw/
Currently she focuses on the copyright aspects of electronic publishing  in the Flemish newspaper sector in the framework of a four-year  interdisciplinary research project FLEET.

- by Amelia:
maybe you could invite eva lichtenberger or eva-britt svensson from the parliament, although i think that they are probably not in bxl over the weekends. ralf bendrath from jan philip albrechts office (@bendrath on twitter) is an experienced digital activist from 
germany who lives in brussels. also wouter van holst from bits of freedom, netherlands is good. joe mcnamee from EDRi also, but he is often busy and stressed out."
