Cambridge Union  on Saturday 28th February  and we need  help with the
video  feed.  If  you can  help, please  contact me  or  Andrew Watson

Good Morning,

The programme for the Cambridge stream of the "Convention on Modern
Liberty" on Saturday 28th February is almost complete. We've secured a
Minister (Bill Rammell) to speak at the afternoon debate on civil
liberties, along with David Howarth MP, Tariq Sadiq and Prof. Andrew
Gamble. There will be four morning panels sessions on Communications
Privacy, The Database State, Censorship, and eGovernment:

At the start and end of the day we'll be watching a video feed from the
London event, where Shami Chakrabarti will give the opening address, and
Nick Clegg MP, Dominic Grieve QC MP, Helena Kennedy QC, Ken Macdonald QC,
Philip Pullman, Cory Doctorow, Chris Huhne MP, Will Hutton, Caroline Lucas
MEP, Chuka Umunna, David Davis MP and others will participate in web-cast
panels and talks:

It promises to be a very interesting day - I hope you can make it, and
please also spread the word to anyone else you think might be interested.
Admission will be free, with donations appreciated.

Lastly, an appeal - successfully piping that video feed into the Cambridge
Union and projecting it onto a screen is vitally important to the success
of the event. A first-rate team is working on sending the feed from London;
I'm looking for a couple of volunteers to configure, trouble-shoot and run
the set-up at our end. If you have some experience with networking and
simple A/V on PCs or Macs, and know one end of Cat 5e cable from the other
(*), your help would be greatly appreciated. Please drop me a note.

                                  Thanks,

                                     Andrew

* Trick question, of course, as they're both the same :-).
