RealTime Perform and busking in Europe

Milad Nekofar — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 02:25:08 +0000

I'm a Software Developer, and my friend, who is a Performer, has been started working on a startup last year (RealTime Perform). This startup is about providing services to the buskers (street performers).

There is no law against busking in Iran, but the Islamic rulers in Iran disagree with it like many other things.

In the recent past months, aggression is increased. They capture buskers, or if they were lucky, just their instruments.

Long story short, our startup is in an early stage, but for the reasons, I said and more, we decide to move to another country, perhaps a Europe one. We are currently negotiating with some accelerators in Europe, and we have been welcomed.

But we need to refine our business model and product before we take any further action and find out more about infrastructure and busking in Europe.

The problem is that we do not have many resources; traveling to Europe is not an easy task for Iranian citizens. Visa issuance can take months.

Unfortunately, most buskers aren't the ones who can access them online easily.
Fortunately, through Instagram and Facebook, we able to connect some of the buskers in Europe and get some information about them and their concerns.

But my ultimate goal in opening this discussion was to ask if you can help us with find and get access to communities of these people. Or even help us to access more information.

We appreciate all your help.

Github Must Be a Free Platform

Github was a free platform for everyone since many years ago, but it has decided to restrict Iranian accounts.
We believe living in a country is not a choice that you have, but being a developer and contributing to the open-source community is a choice.
Github has restricted us from our freedom to contribute and being part of the open-source ecosystem because we are living in Iran.

Github blocked our private repositories without warning us, and now we have no access to our codes.

People should not be judged based on their living country. Github might decide to restrict a government, but it should not ban its active and loyal users without any prior caution.

I think having a simple Github page is a fundamental right for users.
Don't make us leave the open-source community.
