2010 brings us two HacktionLabs, a small gathering in the south of England in the Spring and the next rural HacktionLab in the Wye Valley. For more details please get in touch through the mailing list http://lists.psand.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hacktionlab.
The aim of HacktionLab is to have a convergence where people interested in and/or working in the areas of alternative media, renewable energy, on-line video distribution, free software and any other form of activism that utilises technology can get together an plan how to better use the technology to support the activist movement. We have had three successful gatherings so far, a rural hack meeting in the Wye Valley in June 2008, an urban one in Leeds in October 2008 and another rural one in June 2009.
