Hello,
I have no suitable title nor do I have any other rant 'bout the protection of information bill — I am however thinking of setting up a 'web site' not just only for the fight of this bill, but for whatever next our overlords decide to erode some of this quasi-freedom we have.
The aim of the site would be to corrollate all possible information, and most important try to answer that key question: what to do, where to fight, howto fight.

I think there's going to be a debate @ the book lounge today, 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. I would love to go but don't know if I'll make it...
… where is the book lounge?
Corner of Roeland and Buitenkant, near Orms
Cool. I'll see if I can make it.
Month end is near, so deadlines are everywhere.
@Lebogang I've set up a Crowdmap account so that we can start logging how widespread the opposition to the bill is. Check it out: http://noinfobill.crowdmap.com
I'm kinda still trying to figure out how to use Crowdmap properly, but would really appreciate it if everybody spread the word as far and wide as possible or this will be a pretty futile exercise.
Is crowdmap based on Ushahidi? If so, then it should be possible, to aggregate tweets as well.
I'd suggest you come up with a hash-tag too: #noinfobill (something similart) that will work; and then the app (crowdmap) should pull that tweet (I think it will also do the geo-loc automatically, assuming the tweet was geo-tagged).
I'll get to it — pity, one still have to slave, whilst avoiding being a slave.
Yup, it is. See http://www.thedailymaverick.co.za/article/2010-08-19-crowdmap-ushahidi-made-simpler-faster-and-free.
I've already linked it to the hashtag you suggested (#noinfobill) and I'll start spreading the word.
I don't understand a thing you're discussing but I'm in and in full support of whatever (legal)effort to stop this bill.
@Diaan: yep, it has begun. http://j.mp/noinfobill (made a short-url-ish that might easier to spread)
@UP, I will clarify later — i gotta dash.
@Diaan Have you seen http://mediafreedom.crowdmap.com/ ? Is this deployment of Crowdmap covering the same issue?
