Dear friends,

Within the next few weeks Olympia will host the first Free of Kings 'Build-It!' Conference!  The Free of Kings Conference is a conference and project to create a radical, co-op (member-owned) free speech alternative to social networking websites.

Many of the largest social networking websites are owned by right-wing groups, multinational corporations, or a small clique of volunteers which puts censorship into the hands of a few power-tripping individuals: self-appointed Kings.

-The Mission of the Conference is:

-To network people from around the world who are working on non-corporate social networking projects or non-corporate virtual community projects.
 
-To Build a Radical, Co-op (member-owned), opensource Free Speech, Social Networking Website Which Would be Better than Myspace, Youtube, Livejournal, Match.com, Dontstayin.com and Indymedia... Combined.

Date: Friday, May 18th, 2007
Time: 12:00 pm-4pm.

Location: Olympia Freeschool Building, 610 Columbia Street SW, Olympia, WA 98501
Registration Fees: The entire event is free and refreshments will be served.
