Two weeks ago we were in Berlin at the re:publica, which is a renowned internet conference in Europe. This year it attracted over 6000 visitors, 800 internet activists, and companies/organizations that are actively involved with this subject. Ali Jelveh was one of the speakers, and our stand attracted even the sorts of Google.
With us at the re:publica and soon available online – our FYD t-shirts.
The right refreshments are a must for long exhibition days.
T-Shirts as far as the eye can see.
A notable guest at the FYD and Protonet stand: Eric Grosse, worldwide Google’s chief of security, being introduced to the Protonet Maya by Ali.
In the picture: the FYD Angela Merkel t-shirt.
Rafael Laguna is the CEO and co-founder of Open-Xchange AG, also interested in the FYD campaign and the Protonet server.
A clear view of our exhibition stand. The exhibition is still empty but our colleagues are already on-site.
And then it became political: Katrin Göring-Eckardt, the green party Bündnis 90/Die Grünen vice-chairman, talking with Ali Jelveh and our campaign manager Elke Jacob.
Our exhibition stand attracted plenty of visitors.

For our colleagues at the re:publica one thing was always on their agenda: talking, talking, talking!
Ali Jelveh, founder of Protonet and initiator of the FYD campaign, was on-site everyday.
Our must-haves: the FYD press kits and the Protonet Carla.
Thanks to our girl-power the re:publica was a success! A big thank you to Judith, Micha, Ali, Elke and Georg for the amazing representation of Protonet and FYD!
In total the re:publica attracted over 6,000 guests over three days.
There were plenty of reasons to smile – a 300 hour program with over 450 international guest speakers.
This man has a good sense of fashion: our ‘I love my Data’ t-shirt would suit Eric Grosse perfectly.
Cory Doctorow did not hesitate to get one of our t-shirts, which led to one of our personal highlights at this year’s re:publica…
The award-winning science-fiction author, journalist and blogger wore a FYD t-shirt during his presentation!
Visible in the picture: Harry Halpin from W3C and Rafael Laguna, CEO and co-founder of Open-Xchange AG, with Elke Jacob and Ali Jelveh.
Ali was one of the over 450 guest speakers, and even held two presentations.
You can listen to both of them via the linked podcast.
Among other things Ali also mentioned ‘Das Kapital bin ich’, a book written by Hannes Grassegger.
There were plenty of opportunities for the exhibition visitors to exchange a few words.
Works well doesn’t it? The FYD t-shirts with LED-lighting.
Free Your Data rises into the air…
…and we thank you all for the interesting and stimulating conversations during the three exciting days at the re:publica. See you soon!
Every year the masterminds of the IT industry meet and share knowledge at the re:publica. One of the most prominent speakers at this year’s event was Cory Doctorow, whose name some people do not dare to speak. The Canadian science-fiction author and tireless fighter of internet sovereignty came to our stand and enthusiastically photographed our bold campaign designs. To our surprise he even wore our new Merkel inspired t-shirt during his presentation. We asked ourselves where he got it from because he did not purchase it while visiting our stand. Even Eric Grosse, the worldwide security manager of Google, was unable to avoid our stand. He, in other words Google, came to visit our stand as theirs was opposite ours.
Here you can find the two talks from Ali at the re:publica:
