A recording of the event is available. Also see the followup blog post. Thanks!

Join GitHub for an evening with HackerOne, Wikimedia, Reddit, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), about a controversial proposal—up for a vote in EU Parliament on Sept. 12—that would affect developers by requiring upload filters, imposing a "link tax," and leaving text and data mining restricted.

Mårten Mickos, CEO of HackerOne, will discuss the proposal's impacts on his work and on open source software in the EU. Then, Wikimedia, Reddit, and EFF will discuss their communities' involvement in advocacy, future implications of the proposal, and ways Parliament can improve it.

Learn more about the proposal, its impacts on open source, and how you can help Members of European Parliament (MEPs) understand the need to protect software development.

We'll have some food and drinks available at 5:30 and the program will start at 6pm
