[Nettime-nl] Software Freedom Day 2013 next week

[Bas de Lange <Bas@basdelange.com>]

Dear Nettime'ers,

This year, on wednesday september 18th, Software Freedom Day 2013 is for 
the fourth time taking place at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica 
(CWI), the national researchinstitute for mathematics and theoretical 
computer science on the Science Park in Amsterdam (location on 
OpenStreetMap). The CWI gave birth to the .NL internetdomein, where the 
first top level domain was being registered by system administrator Piet 
Beertema, and where he also made the first connection to a foreign 
country of the NSFnet (which would later on become the Internet) between 
the United States and the netherlands. The CWI plays an active role in 
open internet standards including W3C and has always been involved in 
the Dutch open source community. Like for example the programming 
language Python has been developed at the CWI. So this promises to 
become a very special meeting again like in previous years! Keep an eye 
on this website for the latest updates.
