Fees: Currently, free but we hope to become a content, and soft and hardware hub.
Please however register with John. Some of you have already indicated your interested may reconfirm through reply mode..
Some of the questions we will explore is:
1. What is VPN? Virtual Private Network.. How do I set one up? How I can access content blocked in my geography using a remote (hidden IP).
2. The government is making legislation to regulate VPNs so that they preserve user data for five years.. So will be forced to use non- local servers.
3. Even so can the data exchange be encrypted? what protection is provides.
4. Can we work together on this? Set-up on VPN for our meetings? without having our data on the central zoom or google server? Volunteer group to host/support hybrid meetings using this method, and popularise it in different networks?
Some project ideas, which young coders, techie minded activist can take up:
Build up a local Bulletin Board for local news, information, services (LOCAL can mean a colony, an organisation, a single interest group like organic home garden group, organic farmers-consumers coop.
Perhaps a car polling network..
A truely local meeting in hyrbid mode hosted in local server rather than
A local film appreciation group, using hybrid meeting club. Storage and sharing of Videos,
A Local Exchange and Trading System. - Barter your work for services or goods.
