What is it?[edit | edit source]

Noisebridge: In-Depth is a monthly lecture series and round table discussion.

When and Where does it happen?[edit | edit source]

Noisebridge: In-Depth takes place the first Thursday of every month at 8pm, at Noisebridge. This means the next event will be on June 9th, 2011 at 7 pm. (thereafter normal scheduling will resume)

Why are we doing this?[edit | edit source]

There are many reasons:

  • It provides a deeper look at what people are working on.
  • This is the next step after Five_Minutes_of_Fame.
  • To expose new people to the space
  • Most of the talks have a community outreach slant on them. There are lots of communities that could use skills that Noisebridgers can offer. This is a venue for them to come in, explain their project, and see if they can find help.

How can I participate?[edit | edit source]

The Next Lecture[edit | edit source]

This month's talk is going to be "Anti-Censorship Best Practices for the Sex-Positive Publisher," (Facebook, IndyBay, FetLife) and will be given by Social Justice Technologist and sexuality activist maymay. Formerly an open source programmer “by day” and a sexual freedom advocate “by night,” Maymay has been an outspoken member of kinky, queer communities since 2002. Now a full-time activist, writer, and public speaker, he frequently examines cultural and political issues ranging from censorship to community building and beyond on his blog at http://maybemaimed.com. His multi-media seminars employ an interdisciplinary approach that treats sexuality as a lens on the rest of life. Come ready to watch a fast-paced slideshow and then participate in a far-reaching, informal discussion after the seminar.
