Hi all,
If we are screening this, shouldn't we also screen TPB AFK . That
would be cool movie to share and watch as well.
Either of the movies could be shown before we start the hackathon. We
show-case that, have a 20-30 minute discussion on themes of privacy,
copyright etc. and then launch into the hackathon.
Looking forward to that.
