Ascii 5 Years


5 years of ASCII, that means 5 years free internet access, running totally on open source software and donated hardware.

But it also means 5 years of crazy projects, climbing on roofs to provide wireless access, squatting new locations, setting up media points for activists at antiglobalist gatherings, drinking beer & coffee, giving courses and workshops, trash-hunting for new building materials, writing software, complaining about crustomers, bitching on the mailinglist, meeting wonderful fellow activists from all over, ranting about politics, in short endless hours of fun & frustration :-)

We will be hosting a week full of workshops. We will shortly have more information up.

And of course show up at the Party, 22nd of May @ Africa
