This is the page to co-ordinate the European Freedom not Fear weekend in Brussels in September 2011.

Join us: Freedom not Fear 2011 in Brussels European policy making is affecting our every day lives and civil liberties more and more. The EU is increasingly imposing unnecessary and disproportionate governmental surveillance measures on us. We will not take this any longer. Let's carry our protest into the capital of the EU! We invite you to join us for three days of: protest (Saturday, 17 September 2011) networking (Sunday, 18 September 2011) and debate with Members of the European Parliament and EU Commission staff (Monday, 19 September 2011). Let us get together, meet friends from other parts of Europe and tell the EU that we won't take that continuous erosion of our fundamental rights any longer. Issues "Freedom not fear 2011 - Defending fundamental rights in our networked world" We say NO to data retention and PNR and we call for immediate measures and regulation of net neutrality.

Structure We would like to offer something more than only have a from-the-heart-coming protest march around Brussels. We will combine the protest march with a day of networking and a day of lobbying politicians and bureaucrats responsible for the rules and directives we are complaining about. That will give us a chance to exchange thoughts and concerns directly. And it could open our minds and horizons about what is happening in Brussels exactly. We will thus have three days of "Freedom not fear" in Brussels: 17.9.2011: Day of protest 18.9.2011: Day of networking (barcamp) 19.9.2011: Day of discussion Saturday - day of protest arriving (if not possible on Friday) preparation protest march spend a nice evening together More information about Saturday, the day of protest Sunday - day of networking Call it a barcamp or not - on Sunday we will have space and time for: workshops lectures, speeches meetings on special topics (data retention, pnr, net-neutrality, acta) handicrafs pieces of culture (music, film ...) More information about Sunday, the day of networking/barcamp Monday - day of discussion Meeting and discussing with politicians and bureaucrats in charge. We like to change ideas, concerns and arguments. More information about Monday, the day of discussion/lobbying Traveling and accomodation We collected some informations to make getting to Brussels easier and to find some cheap accomodations. Please notice that there is a limited space for a very simple, but free accomodation! Therefore please have a look at our special wiki-page. Side events There are some other things in life beside all protests and discussions about serious topics. Have a look at some sideevents around the Brussels weekend or just enjoy the city itselfs. Saturday evening - Afterhour and party at London Calling Between 18:00 and 23:00, we have the basement in the popular bar "London Calling" at Place du Londres / Rue Dublin for ourselves. Bring music and good vibrations! At 23:00, they will have a live Reggae band playing there. Saturday evening - Software Freedom day and Ubuntu keysigning party Saturday, 17th of September is Software Freedom Day. We are thinking about having a keysigning party at the evening. SFD is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Our goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business -- in short, everywhere! The non-profit organization Software Freedom International coordinates SFD at a global level, providing support, giveaways and a point of collaboration, but volunteer teams around the world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities. Monday to Tuesday - Brucon conference There is also the hacker / IT security conference BRUCON ("Hacking for b33r") in BXL on Monday and Tuesday after our weekend. Monday evening - Brucon Closing Party On Monday evening, there will be a closing party at the Havana Bar in Brussels, from 10pm onwards, and join folks from BruCON.
