[sklyarov-chicago] [klepht@eleutheria.org: [free-sklyarov] SUMMARY: Global IRC Summit Takeaways]

[Michael Cannon]

Suggestions for allies:

indymedia.org
attrition.org
2600
SANS Institute
and, of course,
OSDN and Slashdot

Note:  How about the 'dance thing'  any interest?

Also, how about an essay contest, sponsored by
EFF/ALA/Free Dmitry and award title and (some) money?
