While some of our colleagues and competitors encourage the “outsourcing” of all computer care to them, we encourage our customers to get to know their computers and train their staff in computer care. We find this helps our customers develop deep skills in computer use as a key part of business strategy and action. \\ | ||

| - | However, the web site shows an ethical issue: it asks people | ||
| - | to confirm attendance using an online dis-service, | ||
| - | It requires visitors to run nonfree Javascript code, and it | ||
| - | collects personal data, thus contributing to massive surveillance. | ||
| - | These are two of the things I would denounce in my talk, | ||
| - | See stallman.org/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | I would feel hypcritical asking people to use meetup to come to | ||
