WebCamp dogodki združujejo profesionalce s področja spletnih tehnologij. Verjamemo, da imamo v Sloveniji prav toliko strokovnjakov in entuziastov kot v Londonu ali San Franciscu, samo več se moramo pogovarjati med seboj ter deliti znanje.
WebCamp je organiziran po BarCamp principu kjer so predavatelji udeleženci sami. S tem zagotavljamo, da se celotna skupnost uči zadev na njej primernem nivoju in skozi dogodke večamo nivo znanja in zahtevnost predavanj.
This presentation is a general introduction and a status update on the development of "FreedomBox", which is a project supported by the FreedomBox Foundation founded by Eben Moglen. FreedomBox is a personal server running a free software operating system and free applications, designed to create and preserve personal privacy by providing a secure platform upon which federated social networks can be constructed. The software for FreedomBox is being assembled by volunteer programmers around the world who believe in Free Software and Free Society.

What is FreedomBox?
Email and telecommunications that protects privacy and resists eavesdropping A publishing platform that resists oppression and censorship. An organizing tool for democratic activists in hostile regimes. An emergency communication network in times of crisis.
FreedomBox will put in people's own hands and under their own control encrypted voice and text communication, anonymous publishing, social networking, media sharing, and (micro)blogging. Much of the software already exists: onion routing, encryption, virtual private networks, etc. There are tiny, low-watt computers known as "plug servers" to run this software. The hard parts is integrating that technology, distributing it, and making it easy to use without expertise. The harder part is to decentralize it so users have no need to rely on and trust centralized infrastructure. That's what FreedomBox is: we integrate privacy protection on a cheap plug server so everybody can have privacy. Data stays in your home and can't be mined by governments, billionaires, thugs or even gossipy neighbors. With FreedomBoxes in their homes, anybody, regardless of technical skill, can easily enjoy secure, private, even anonymous communication! FreedomBox is a collaborative project of programmers around the world who believe in Free Software, Free Society. Many of its members will come from the Debian community, and many will come from other corners of the Free World.

Elevate festival, Graz 20 – 26 october
Elevate's professed aim is to combine critical political discourse with art and music within a special framework: the Schlossberg as the festival's central location and established venues like Forum Stadtpark and the Stadtmuseum Graz.
Political Discourse: With an extensive programme of discussions, workshops, lectures, and film screenings, the Elevate Festival wishes to foster a better understanding of the most important issues of our time. This includes is a conscuious focus on groundbreaking alternatives, innovative projects, and various intiatives in the realm of civil society, social movements and dedicated activism.
Arts and Music: Presenting an eclectic array of styles, the performing artists at Elevate have one thing in common: the courage to break away from conventions and satisfy their personal need to find their own voice, far removed from the mainstream. That being said, Elevate offers a musical journey away from well-known Best-Of-Sets, challenging both artists and audiences alike. Artistic horizons can be explored, shared and expanded not only at live-shows but also at workshops on music production at the Elevate Lab.

It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants who are the main actors of the event. (from barcamp.org).
