Operation: Restore Maximum Freedom (O:RMF) is a non-profit all ages DIY music festival put on roughly twice a year by KDVS 90.3FM in Davis. This event has a rich history of bringing killer audio projects from the radiowaves of KDVS to the soundwaves of Plainfield Station, the venue chosen for its awesome burgers, cheap beer, and rural location in the middle of Yolo county. The music is still healthy in Sacto/Davis, where KDVS DJs fight the good fight against corporate hegemony of homogeny. Using freeform radio and a grand variety of live shows, we bring the best tunes to the region, as we have for decades.

In today's political climate, while personal freedoms have been undermined by the current regime, one student-run, community-powered radio station has endeavored to make the most of what freedom is left; Freeform KDVS 90.3 FM in Davis has chosen to support the new, creative music of the most sincere artistic scruples, thereby offering a true, outstanding alternative choice to music fans who refuse to settle for less. For people who've grown weary of corporate-controlled rebellion and partying in bars with bro-dawgs and hoochie-mamas — where every flash of the horns and so-called act of revelry is so formulaic and seemingly scripted — Max Freedom offers you a totally different way to party.

2010-04-01 Rumors of the demise of the wiki were due to the day (April 1st). A new Back Page replaced the Front Page and in a stated effort to "save power" and to "save pixels" the site slowly faded to black over the day, with shrinking text.
