Agenda 

7:00 pm ... Guest Presentation: Lou Daniel will present online.

Presenter Topic: Digital Safe Harbour - Why we need it; how to build it.

Lou Daniel trained as a geochemist in Perth back in the 80’s and continues to earn a living in the minerals industry, now as a barefoot data architect specialising in mineral supply chain modelling.

He lives in the lovely windswept coastal suburb of Port Kennedy with his wife Irma and three teenage sons Oscar, Iantha and Ethan.

Lou is deeply concerned that individual dignity and community safety are now under daily attack by an accelerating techno dystopia.

The phones and laptops we have come to depend upon, and indeed cherish for their usefulness, shouldn’t dictate terms to us. But that’s what they are doing and Big Tech is pretty keen that this is so.

We need to unsubscribe to the noise to regain privacy and independence and relief from the constant barrage of online life.  We need digital safe harbor.

Lou will present a talk in accessible lay language suggesting how this might be achieved as a community endeavour, using resources in hand and with minimal expense.
 

Then...

We are going to have an extended interval with drinks and nibbles and an opportunity to have a bit of a chat and generally socialise. We will provide light nibbles, tea, coffee and soft drinks. Feel free to BYO beer or vino.

And then ...

• President's report for this month.

• What's been happening with Mic Adams.

• And we will hear from iHelp with Cedric Wyndham.

• To wind up we'll have as long as you like to chat over Zoom. Please feel free to hang around; the socialising is good medicine in these stressful times.

and last but not least ... 

 WAFFLE, a relaxed social get together TBA

The meeting will be recorded and subsequently published publicly.

See you at (or a bit before!!!)  7pm. Via Zoom or in person.

Regards,

David Stonier-Gibson
