We at korakora.org are trying to organize an on-line event to culminate on Document Freedom Day March 26.
For now we will be launching an open on-line dialogue ""Surfers or Serfs: Digital Freedom or Digital Feudalism?" - on the Proyekto website running on Drupal 5.3.
Hope some of you can join the event! More info below.

Korakora Proyekto: Open On-Line Dialogue
"Surfers or Serfs: Digital Freedom or Digital Feudalism?"
From 26 February - 26 Marck 2008
http://korakora.org/proyekto/dfd08/
An on-line event organized in conjunction with
Document Liberation and Open Standards
26 March 2008 Document Freedom Day
http://documentfreedom.org/
In response to efforts of promoting, adopting and raising awareness for Free Document Formats and Open Standards, the Philippines-based art initiative Korakora.org is organizing an open on-line dialogue entitled "Surfers or Serfs: Digital Freedom or Digital Feudalism?"
Within the context of issues addressed within the free, open-source, and open-standards community, "Surfers or Serfs" seeks to investigate realities of Freedom within the Culture of Ignorance: Are humans being turned into machines so others can exploit them without them questioning their own slavery? Why do we consider somebody "computer literate" when they can only operate the controls of a commercial computer system?
