                 -::::-

A new e-mail list has been formed to discuss and 
debate what has been termed 'hacktivism'. Refacing 
corporate and government web-pages, organising 
community based web servers or micropower radio 
stations, using mobile comms to create 
communication channels for poor, remote or 
oppressed people: the fusion of activism and 
hacking has begun to create some very creative 
projects - not to mention some interesting 
practical, tactical and even ethical questions.

                 -::::-

The e-mail list is a space to allow activists and 
hackers of all persuasions to discuss what the word 
'hacktivism' actually means and the issues 
surrounding it. It can also be used as a forward 
channel for any interesting hacktivism news or 
opinion. Please forward this announcement to
interested people.

                 -::::-

To join this e-mail list simply send a message to:
    hacktivism-request at lists.tao.ca
with

in the (plain text) message body. Remove the 
subject line and your sig.

                -::::-
