ASCII evicted from its a new /home
ASCII, a free public internet space run by hackers and activists in Amsterdam, was evicted from Kinkerstraat 92 on oktober 12. On oktober 31, we squatted a new /home for our project on Wibautstraat 7. We got evicted there the 24th of november
ASCII is set up recycling old computers and using only free software (GNU GPL) to bring broader access to technology for the populace. ASCII is a collective of free and autonomous thinkers, technically and politically aware hackers and free software developers.
Wibautstraat 7 was not the first nor the last place where hackers struggle for redemption from merchantile agendas speculating on technology and its accessibility by the populace. The right to communicate is everyone's good and software implements it!
ASCII will be opening soon again, maybe in a place near you. If you have tips about good housing for us, let us know! If you want to keep informed, subscribe to our announce mailinglist.
We are working towards making groups around a subject on each day in the week. Till now this is:
