Dear Minister Stephen Conroy,

I'd like to add voice to a growing chorus of disdain.
Please don't implement mandatory filtering of the Internet.

I have three key areas of concern.

1. It will be ineffective and slow down connection speeds for everyone.
2. The government should not decide what I can and can not view in the privacy of my own home.
3. The very concept of "illegal information" needs to be examined.

Software Freedom Day 2008 Melbourne - The Hub AT DocklandsSaturday 20 September is Software Freedom Day. Creative Contingencies is providing pro bono assistance to this year's event management team.

The team has sourced and secured a new venue. The Hub@Docklands is the community centre for Melbourne's growing waterside neighbourhood, which has a great little cinema room. A series of interesting talks covering a range of topics around technology and freedom have been scheduled to run through out the day.

There's also a light filled Atrium where free and open source software demos will showcase the technology. Visitors can take home a CD filled with applications they can use at school, at home or at work.
