Digital Backyards

Blaine Cook hipped me to this event in Berlin in October:

To quote:

    /Are there any alternatives to an increasingly centralized internet
    landscape as cultivated by Google and Facebook? It is hard to
    imagine, but there are. The resources for such alternatives lie
    dormant in Europe's diversity itself: tinker garages, corporate
    hotbeds, grassroots hubs, institutional labs, hacker bedrooms,
    editorial outposts etc. In those digital backyards innovators have
    been silently pursuing their work. Now they come together from all
    over Europe to explore synergies and common interests.

It'd be cool to know if anyone involved in the FSW is going.
