We are looking for members and non-members alike with any construction, moving , electrical, network/IT, plumbing , drywalling or other skills to volunteer some time to building our new community hub (however, no experience is necessary!). This also presents a great opportunity for anyone wanting to learn these types of skills in practice and contribute to a good cause while they're at it. The main moving dates will be the weekends of April 23 and 30, although we will need lots of help before and after these dates to build out the new space and do other tasks. We are willing to accommodate many types of schedules. If you would like the complete list and schedule of move tasks that we need help with (as sent out to Axon subscribers), contact <heather@interaccess.org>

Festival Garage

Deadline: Sunday, May 1, 2005
Thursday, July 28 to Sunday, July 31, 2005; near Boxtel/Den Bosch, The Netherlands

Every four years, the dutch hacker scene likes to throw an outdoor festival/conference/camp-out. At these events, the visitors usually stay in tents or other mobile living facilities on the site of the event, and much of the atmosphere is a strange mix between both very relaxed and vibrant at the same time. Major developments in the world of Internet (and God knows where else) started because the right people met at one of these events. The New York Times likened the 1997 edition to a "Woodstock for Hackers". The 2005 edition of this extravaganza is called "What The Hack", and the organizing committee is soliciting abstracts from those who have an interest in presenting something there. Like previous editions, the conference side of this multi-facetted event will cover traditional 'hacker topics' such as: Computer security; the politics surrounding the net; freedom of speech, open Source software development and lockpicking. This edition, we would like to expand even further into areas to which the connection may or may not be immediately obvious, but which are of general interest to a technologically savvy and politically awake audience. If you know (of) someone that you think should present at What The Hack, please ask them to submit an abstract. Abstracts should be sent via E-mail to <speaker@whatthehack.org>.

Call for Submissions
Submission Deadline: March 31, 2005
