EuroDIG – dialogues on decisions made elsewhere? June 20, 2014 · by Patrick Schiffer · in Europe, Pirate Party News, Pirate Topic A Guest Post by Amelia Andersdotter EuroDIG is as always a vibrant place with many different nationalities coming together to discuss important topics for the future of internet governance.

After a while this idea ended up in the program of the German Pirate Party, aiming for ticketless public transport for long term benefits for society and economy.
