On Saturday 27th March the Sheffield Social Forum is holding a launch event (wiki) from 1000 - 1700, At the Royal Institute for the Blind, Mappin Street.
There are lots of workshops (wiki) planned and an Indymedia Lab (wiki).
Free software / Indymedia / Wireless Networking / Hacktivism
Sheffield IMC (Wiki) with help from SlugBug and ShefNet, will be running a day-long media activist / free software / wireless workshop. There are plans to link up with WTF?! via IRC, #esp on irc.freenode.net (web interface).
The collective will also be running a workshop The grassroots go global - the emergence of Indymedia during the day with help from Penni of the London-IMC collective.
Sheffield IMC would encourage folks who participate in the event to post their reports to the Sheffield IMC newswire. We would really like to write a good feature about this after the event.
