I designed the following poster for [BarCamp Transparency](http://barcamptransparency-uk.org/), this Sunday, July 26, at the University Club on Mansfield Road, Oxford. (It starts at 10am and tickets are free; visit the website to get yours.)

Andrew Keen, [author of The Cult of the Amateur](http://andrewkeen.typepad.com/the%5Fgreat%5Fseduction/2006/10/my%5Fbook%5Fnow%5Fnot.html), saw it and had [this](http://twitter.com/ajkeen/status/2802247459) to [say](http://twitter.com/ajkeen/status/2802278735):

> \[..\] What's so great about TRANSPARENCY, OPENNESS and ETHICS? I'm in favor of OPAQUENESS, DISHONESTY & AESTHETICS.

We aim to please:
