Tuesday at BornHack you will have a unique opportunity to meet and talk to some of the politicians that shape the IT politics of Denmark and the EU.
We have invited the politicians responsible for, or involved with the IT politics of each party in Denmark. We hope that many of the politicians we invited will show up - at the moment René Gade (member of Danish parliament for Alternativet) and Karen Melchior (alternate MEP for Radikale/ALTE) has accepted our invitation.
The purpose of this event is to get technicians and politicians talking about current events in IT politics. The initial topic will be the Danish "sessionslogning" (soon-to-be-proposed complete national Internet session logging at ISP level), but during the event we expect the debate to branch out to other topics.
We want the technicians to educate the politicians on technical aspects of IT legislation. We want the politicians to educate the technicians on why things are not neccesarily as simple and clear-cut as they sometimes seem. We want everyone to walk away with new knowledge, new contacts, and a better sense of where we are headed as an IT dependent society.
The event is kindly sponsored and hosted by PROSA - the Danish association of IT-professionals, and it will be moderated by Anders Kjærulff from the Danish radio program "Aflyttet".
We hope that a lot of the technicians present at BornHack will take this opportunity to make your voice heard and move things forward. Shouting on Twitter will only get us so far, at some point we have to interact with politicians if we want things to change.
