Hello people,
Nov. 8th is Aaron Swartz's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz)
birthday.
For those who are unaware of who Aaron Swartz is,
He was an hacktivist, entrepreneur (who did not focus on profit),
political organizer, open access activist and winner of couple of awards
and one is from Electronic Frontier Foundation (an organization that
defends the electronic freedom of Users).
He was also responsible for the development of the Rich Site Summary
(RSS) web format standard. He contributed to the development of Creative
Commons, Wikipedia and others. He is also known for the development of
famous site "Reddit.com".
He has been a supporter of Free Software and Free Culture throughout
his life. He organized people to fight against two laws which were
curbing
the online freedom of the people of United States of America and they won
the fight too.
He took his life at the age of 26 due to severe mental stress which
was caused by the US govt. for a brave act he committed to bring about a
radical change in the publishing sector.
His thoughts and actions have inspired a lot of people around the
world and in the past Free software Movements in India have also
organized
events in his memory.
An international hackathon is being organized in his memory every
year http://www.aaronswartzday.org/ and this day is remembered as
Aaron Swartz Day.
I propose we should host events in our university.
1. We can ask the Media & Mass Communication folks to host a
documentary screening on "The Internet's Own Boy"
2. We can hold hackathon in the Department of Computer Science
and invite anyone to participate.
Do add your suggestions on what else can be done.
