Actually, I do. I think we should avoid building explicit connotations between
technology on the one side, and political philosophy, religion or ethics on the
other side. 

At the same time, I think people should be outspoken about what they think (or
feel) how the world and societies should function. I also do that on my
*personal* Twitter account. I just don't think that technology projects,
especially open source ones, should be (ab)used for that. Consequently we try to
avoid political content on @QubesOS account (although I do realize this might
have not always worked, sometimes because a specific political philosophy is so
deeply ingrained in us we can't even notice we're advocating for it).

Perhaps the "Anarchist Village" as used in the context of CCC has some special
meaning, which makes it obvious to everybody (but me) that it is not about
promoting a specific political philosophy system? In that case, please ignore my
concern.

In any case, I'm not *terribly* against it, just thought I'd use this as an
opportunity to express my -- no doubt controversial and unpopular -- view on
this matter.

Cheers and have fun at the CCC!
joanna.
