I have decided not to get involved in this activist tech gathering even though it is completely on the subjects that are core to my work. I had tried to interact but with no noticeable affect.
The is a failer of imagination in almost all atavist tech that shapes a blankness in ideas and almost no real action. Its not that the ideas and campaigns are not important as some of them clearly are, it is more limited framework that these things are addressed with.
This gathering reminds me of the Rebellious Media Conference from a few years back which took up a lot of my time and had no affect what so ever. On balance the RMC damaged the declining alt-media by taking focus and energy, am worried that this gathering will lead to the same outcome.
If you wont to get involved in real alternative tech in action, and while doing thinking about the bigger picture try http://activisttech.org or the develoment side try this http://hamishcampbell.com/en/home/-/blogs/the-tech-manifesto-of-the-omn

A trip through central London on the river Thames from Brentford to Limehouse.
Ready to set-off from the last squatted mooring on the big river, near Kew bridge.
Very calm for the first half.
The crew relax and take photes
The bridges were easer than further up the river as they were wider.
Just about to enter the ruff part of the trip (Photo from liquid highway)
It got so ruff and busy we didn’t get any photos or videos of the best bit (:
Arrived safe but shakenup (:

In technology development, there are many possible paths. Some of these lead to far more fertile ground for cultivating the open internet and open society approach that the #OMN is built on.
We clearly reject:
We actively support:
The #OMN is open to any project that aligns with open-source, open-data, and open-licensing principles. There are several existing tools and platforms that point in useful directions:
A key question is whether we can meaningfully combine these approaches into a more open, global platform:
There are also interesting experiments to consider:
Within this ecosystem, #OMN can be understood as:
Finally, the growing power of HTML5 web apps – especially on smartphones – provides a flexible and accessible interface layer. This allows us to build user-friendly tools on top of complex distributed infrastructure without locking users into closed platforms.
The goal is not to build everything from scratch, but to stitch together existing open tools into a coherent, trust-based ecosystem.
UPDATE: both Liferay and Retroshare failed in this dev path, the first is the normal blocking of open core as a #FOSS path and the second simply failed due to complexity and #UX. Popcorn time we never found a crew to build the coding. Then web apps were silently blocked by the #dotcons app stores focus. What can we learn from this now?
