I'm so hoping I'm back in time to be at whatever they do around the bay area. Please post details about that when you know them.

 Hmmm I tried the info at boell.org and the address and the Arne.Jungjohann at us.boell.org and didn't get  bounce.  Maybe check the spelling and try again?  (Note I mispelled the name in my original e-mail - sorry for the 
confusion). As for the event, great question.  Here's the announcement but without place and time below.  I sent a note to Arne.Jungjohann at us.boell.org to try to find out those particulars.

I would be impressed with this organization except for one thing: When I tried to e-mail them using the e-mail address on their web site, my mail was returned as undeliverable.  Any clue as to when/where they will be having 
their tour of the SF Bay Area on July 26-27 about Internet Freedom?

Check out this high quality, well-funded Green Party periodical from the american Henrich Bölles Foundation in Washington D.C.
The foundation is underwritten by the German Green Party (which due to their much more advanced Democacy than ours is substantially funded by tax payer's money in proportion to the votes they receive - part of proportional 
representation).
