+               <description>Drones, flying robots, are getting more and more popular.  The most
+know ones are the killer drones used by some government to murder
+people they do not like without giving them the chance of a fair
+trial, but the technology have many good uses too, from mapping and
+forest maintenance to photography and search and rescue.  I am sure it
+is just a question of time before &quot;bad drones&quot; are in the hands of
+private enterprises and not only state criminals but petty criminals
+too.  The drone technology is very useful and very dangerous.  To have
+some control over the use of drones, I agree with Daniel Suarez in his
+TED talk
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/DanielSuarez_2013G&quot;&gt;The kill
+decision shouldn&#39;t belong to a robot&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, where he suggested this
+little gem to keep the good while limiting the bad use of drones:&lt;/p&gt;
+ 
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Each robot and drone should have a cryptographically signed
+I.D. burned in at the factory that can be used to track its movement
+through public spaces. We have license plates on cars, tail numbers on
+aircraft. This is no different. And every citizen should be able to
+download an app that shows the population of drones and autonomous
+vehicles moving through public spaces around them, both right now and
+historically. And civic leaders should deploy sensors and civic drones
+to detect rogue drones, and instead of sending killer drones of their
+own up to shoot them down, they should notify humans to their
+presence. And in certain very high-security areas, perhaps civic
+drones would snare them and drag them off to a bomb disposal facility.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But notice, this is more an immune system than a weapons system. It
+would allow us to avail ourselves of the use of autonomous vehicles
+and drones while still preserving our open, civil society.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The key is that &lt;em&gt;every citizen&lt;/em&gt; should be able to read the
+radio beacons sent from the drones in the area, to be able to check
+both the government and others use of drones.  For such control to be
+effective, everyone must be able to do it.  What should such beacon
+contain?  At least formal owner, purpose, contact information and GPS
+location.  Probably also the origin and target position of the current
+flight.  And perhaps some registration number to be able to look up
+the drone in a central database tracking their movement.  Robots
+should not have privacy.  It is people who need privacy.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today NUUG and Hackeriet announced
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/news/Bli_med___bygge_dugnadsnett_for_alle_i_Oslo.shtml&quot;&gt;our
+plans to join forces and create a wireless community network in
+Oslo&lt;/a&gt;.  The workshop to help people get started will take place
+Thursday 2013-11-28, but we already are collecting the geolocation of
+people joining forces to make this happen.  We have
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/meshfx-node/blob/master/oslo-nodes.geojson&quot;&gt;9
+locations plotted on the map&lt;/a&gt;, but we will need more before we have
+a connected mesh spread across Oslo.  If this sound interesting to
+you, please join us at the workshop.  If you are too impatient to wait
+15 days, please join us on the IRC channel
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23nuug&quot;&gt;#nuug on irc.freenode.net&lt;/a&gt;
+right away. :)&lt;/p&gt;
