15:00 <dal2> Hello, I read the status message, thanks for the update

15:01 <dal2> I'm a freelance writer in Seattle. Previously I've got good stuff into Salon, Vice, WhoWhatWhy, and others

15:01 <dal2> Most recently I reported in person from Russiagate whistleblower Reality Winner's sentencing http://www.dailypublic.com/articles/08242018/reality-winner-sentenced-63-months

15:01 <dal2> and Oxford Union censorship of a panel about whistleblowing https://boingboing.net/2018/06/01/petulant-loser.html

15:02 <dal2> Right now I'm putting together a freelance pitch to the mainstream/corporate media about open science (Sci-Hub, GetGee) vs. coronavirus, in terms of boots-on-the-ground tech activists

15:02 <dal2> So I stopped by here to see if Neo900 was still going and interested in talking about how COVID-19 and closed science/medicine/tech is hurting their activism

15:03 <dal2> Given the status update at maemo.org , I'll ask instead, can anyone recommend tech activists I should get in touch with for the above described freelance pitch

15:04 <dal2> I'm here in Seattle where the index case for the United States was, so I think commissioning editors will be interested in this.

15:07 <dal2> Would help if the closed vs. open topic, had a specific tie-in to science/medicine/health for the activists. For example, 3d printing of medical personal protective equipment

15:07 <dal2> afk for about 2 hours. In case my connection goes, my contact info is DAL@RISEUP.NET back in 2 hours

15:08 <dal2> Looking for something like "This closed/proprietary standard/patent/thing is hurting our activism, if only it were open, we could do more re coronavirus/medicine/etc"

15:14 <enyc> dal2: iirc/afaict neo900 not going ahead
