Exactly one year ago, a bunch of internauts gathered online and offline to talk about the future of the internet. There were many worrying facts, but first and foremost, there was energy and joy.

The first issue to strike the internauts was the telecoms package, which was in the second reading in the European Parliament. Someone suggested “Lets hack our way in to the politicians, and tell them how to do it right!” That caturday night, one year ago, was the beginning of the #telekompaketet IRC-channel, which still exists as the main control room for activities.

Many features have since then been added to the Telecomix System. One day a wiki was added, another day a Crypto Munitions Agency was formed. Telecomix, working as an interface between humans and bots, was even upgraded itself with an operative Artificial Intelligence named Cameron.

Today, we level up our struggle to create a free internet. We have made an operating system, which is equipped with the strongest crypto munitions available to modern computers. It is called the Telecomix Cipher System, and the video on top of this message (download here) shows the reasons for why we give this to the world, as a free download. You may also buy a pre-installed USB-stick at our friends at Gnutiken.

Please join us online and offline in our celebrations. We begin today at 16:00 CET in Gothenburg, Sweden. Stay tuned to our channels for other parties and events!

From the bottom of our cipher hearts – Happy birthday!

So. I went to the “public hearing” of  ACTA.  Long story short supposedly we were going to have to sign NDA’s to enter this “PUBLIC” session about the ACTA, since next week is the official 7th round of secret negotiations about this type of global DMCA, courtesy of the copymafia, are taking place in Mexico. In secret, as usual.   Then, we didn’t have to sign the NDA but they (the administrative NON ELECTED employees of this institute) asked us to “not talk about” what was going on in the meeting….that they were trusting in our good will. They weren’t saying anything relevant that we didnt’ know already, thanks to the Internet. I tweet. They say you stop or you are out.  Ok. I’m out. Don’t trust in my good will for anything in secret that affects 1 billion people.

The only good thing about this farse labeled as “public hearin” is  that i can tell that DINOSAURS EXIST, they wear suits and make “grooogr”. EW!

Here are some news in the Internet about what happened in english, spanish and some posts i’ve wrote in spanish about ACTA:
