Good evening,
A couple of weeks ago, you should have received a letter (granted, it
was true old-fashioned snail-mail) enquiring whether your organisation
might be interested in entering a community partnership with syn2cat
a.s.b.l. for our bi-annual HaxoGreen Summer-camp.
As we're summing it all up this week in regard to sponsors and partners,
we'd love to hear from you in case you'd like to profit from this
occasion to present your organisation to more than 100 geeks, hackers
and ICT professionals at the end of July.
I am looking foward to reading from you.
What follows are the contents of the original letter send to your postal
addresses:
Luxembourg's hackerspace and technology community, syn2cat a.s.b.l., is
a non-profit organization established in 2008. Among many fascinating
projects, syn2cat is also responsible for the organization of the
HaxoGreen summer-camp, a 4-day outdoor event, taking place from July
26th – 29th in Dudelange, Luxembourg.
Makers, artists, hackers and innovators from all over Europe and beyond
meet to exchange knowledge, share ideas, contribute to the community and
have a good time. The organization of the summer-camp is only possible
through the generous support of sponsors and partners which help in
different ways to contribute to its success.
Understandably, reaching and getting people to participate at this event
is one of the primordial and most important tasks during its
preparation. That is why we are actively looking for partners that have
both the means of reaching a broad spectrum of people and that are
equally interested in connecting with our targeted demographic. Which is
why we are contacting you.
We would like to offer your a range of opportunities in return for your
support of our event. Allow us to pick the cherries among what we can
do for you:
* put your logo up on our event's website (at www.haxogreen.lu &
2012.haxogreen.lu)
* reserve some space at the camp-site for your stand as well as one free
entry to enable you to actively promote your organization.
On the other hand, we're still collecting proposals for talks and
workshops at the camp and would like to invite you to submit a proposal
that presents your organization or your favourite project [0].
In return, we would ask you to spread the word on HaxoGreen 2012 among
your members and contacts through any means at your disposal (such as
your website, mailing-lists, social media, newsletters, …).
We're looking forward to your prompt and hopefully positive reply.
Should you need more information than is presented, please feel free to
contact me or any of our team members. We will look into helping you out
in any way we can.

sure to submit before that happens ;)
We have worked hard to ensure media coverage in several newspapers,
radio stations, both announcing and reviewing the camp. More tents, more
music, a bookshop, several sponsors and community partners will ensure
that this year's edition of HaxoGreen will totally surpass the 2010
edition in awesomeness. You should totally not miss this opportunity.

HaxoGreen 2012 - the Hackers' Summercamp in Luxembourg

Call for Proposals: http://www.haxogreen.lu

Bonjour,
L’association L’Escalier a pour but de partager des ressources dans des
locaux collectifs, au 9 rue d’Alsace à Jarville-la-Malgrange. Après 1 an
de travaux, elle organise une Journée Portes Ouvertes le samedi 5 mai
2012 à partir de 14h00 (apéro à 18h00). Tous les détails sur
http://www.goall.fr
Hello,
With the APE Contern we would like to organize a security event in the
spring 2012
The idea is to actually show security treats encountered every day and
not only have a presenter talk about security.
We could demonstrate phishing, WiFi spying on public places....
This is not a Linux presentation and most of the people coming will be
Windows user.
The advantage of having LiLux co-organize the event is that we can
promote free software only by our presence and maybe by distributing
some flyers.
Who could help with ideas, and presence on the event?
Our next meeting is scheduled for the 24th of November. More details
will come later.
Best regards.

Trisquel 5.5 STS "Brigantia" is finally here! This release took us
some extra time but it was well worth it, as even if we went through a
lot of changes in core components we achieved many improvements while
preparing the system for the forthcoming long term support release. As
a sort of compensation (many thanks for your patience!), and due to the
importance of our next release, we will start hacking on it sooner than
usual, in about a month.
This release took our biggest effort in this eight years, and we want
to thank all the community, members, donors and specially to everyone
who contributed to the development. Many new technologies, same user
experience
This release is our first to be based on GNOME 3, GTK 3 and also
Linux-libre 3.0.0. GNOME 3 was a big challenge, because as it is
designed by now, it is not usable for our community. The new default
interface of GNOME 3 is GNOME Shell, a program that requires 3D
acceleration to work, as it relies on graphics composition. Sadly, many
graphics cards today still lack a libre driver providing acceleration,
so many users who would choose free drivers will be redirected to a
fallback desktop environment. We think that this way many users could
feel compelled to install non-free drivers to be able to use the new
desktop, so we decided to use the fallback environment as default, and
improve it when possible. Luckily this fallback is a GTK 3
implementation of GNOME panel 2x, and not only is it very usable, and
even more stable than the original, but it is also accessible,
something GNOME Shell is currently lacking.
One other advantage of using the fallback as default is that we were
able to use it to provide the same desktop layout that many Trisquel
users have become attached to. You can of course adapt and customize it
with panels and applets as usual.
This release features, among many others:
- Linux-libre 3.0.0
- GNOME 3.2
- Abrowser 11
- LibreOffice 3.4.4
Better accessibility, a better project
Continuing with our commitment to accessibility we have managed to
improve the integration with the Orca screen reader and other universal
access software. It was not easy, as it was affected by the changes in
core libraries underneath, but the results were worth it. If you use
the i18n DVD the screen reader will be started by default, allowing
visually impaired users to install it by themselves, and the login
manager in the installed system will then be accessible. It is still
far from perfect, but we will keep working on it.
Another improvement is that many NVIDIA graphic cards are now supported
with 3D acceleration using the free Nouveau driver, which was moved
from experimental into the preinstalled set of packages. Also, we can
announce now that those packages, and all the +300GB of sources and
binaries in our archive servers are now accessible through new official
mirrors in the Netherlands and India, thanks to Jason Self and the KMEA
Engineering college respectively. Many thanks!

Defective by Design
*While DRM has largely been defeated in downloaded music, it is a
growing problem in the area of ebooks, where people have had their books
restricted so they can't freely loan, re-sell or donate them, read them
without being tracked, or move them to a new device without
re-purchasing all of them. They've even had their ebooks deleted by
companies without their permission. It continues to be a major issue in
the area of movies and video too.
Join us in working to eliminate DRM!*
Please visit dayagainstdrm.org for more information
<http://dayagainstdrm.org/>.
On May 4th, the Defective by Design DRM Elimination Crew will of course
be running an event in Boston. But for this day to send a strong message
against DRM, we need people all over the world to join us and hold their
own events!
As well as attending or running events, you can join other activists in
blogging about DRM, putting up banners on your Web sites and blogs,
talking about DRM on your social networks and more. See below for an
evolving list of all the different ways you can help raise awareness.
Please mark your calendars, and join the Day Against DRM mailing list
for frequent updates between now and May 4th
