anyone else planning on going to this?
Probably not, unless I'm in Norwich that day anyway, but if you do go, be aware that the Open Rights Group is a Group advocating Open Rights and not actually open: it does not have open membership of the group. Only a minority of its board is elected and then only if you buy a vote. They're generally doing good work and probably have interesting things to say, but they're firmly in the "fellow traveller for now" camp IMO and is it really effective to argue that digital rights should be democratic with an organisation that isn't? I'd still be interested to know what you see, what they have to say and your take on it. Maybe on http://planet.alug.org.uk - I'll write more about organisations there soon. The whole Python Foundation change to open membership had already raised it in my mind.
