- | === For discussion, avoiding issues with Meetup === | ||
- | < | ||
- | |||
- | However, the web site shows an ethical issue: it asks people | ||
- | to confirm attendance using an online dis-service, | ||
- | It requires visitors to run nonfree Javascript code, and it | ||
- | collects personal data, thus contributing to massive surveillance. | ||
- | These are two of the things I would denounce in my talk, | ||
- | See stallman.org/ | ||
- | |||
- | I would feel hypcritical asking people to use meetup to come to | ||
- | my talk. | ||

- | Adam to contact him and suggest we collect attendees not using meetup, instead have attendees send email to sign up. Or else not require anyone to RSVP. | ||
- | |||
- | Person speaking has serious ethical questions about meetup and thus we are not using meetup for signups. Instead send your RSVP to president@bnug.org; | ||
