Freedom in my Heart
Note: WE ARE MEETING AT CIVIC HALL!! We'll need names, and you will
need IDs.
When Karen discovered she had a life threatening heart condition, the
last thing she expected was to have to worry about software. Now, with
a heart device implanted in her body, she has come to understand not
only how vulnerable medical devices are but how as a society we are
making critical choices about all of our software. Karen will talk
about the hacks which show how essential free and open source software
is and will discuss her professional and personal view of the issues
as a patient and as a cyborg lawyer.
Afterwards:
-----------------
Join us afterwards at The Storehouse Pub where we'll continue the
discussion over drinks and/or food. The Storehouse Pub is located at
69 West 23rd St, between 5th at 6th Avenues.
