Retake the Net is an initiative for projects and actions related to keeping the internet free and open. (They are not a Wellington ICT initiative, but our goals are closely linked.) Their first barcamp will take place on 29th October.

The Retake the Net barcamp aims to bring together people who are interested in the topics such as internet freedom, digital identity, open culture, or privacy and anti-censorship. You don’t have to be an expert in any of these topics – we encourage anyone interested to come along, participate, and learn from each other. This informal, self organising day will consist of sessions and discussions and provides a great opportunity to meet, share, and work on concrete projects. Please note that this is a participant-driven, non-commercial event – no one will try and pitch you or try and sell you something.
