Dear All, I am for the most part a lurker on this list. But I thought I would share with you what I have been working on for the past 7 or 8 years. Best, Yosem ***** We are Stanford Liberationtech. Our home page is here: http://cddrl.fsi.stanford.edu/libtech. To sign up to our 4K-strong mailing list, click here: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech. We have also curated a list of Liberationtech content followed by 40K+ people at https://twitter.com/Liberationtech. If you prefer to read our Twitter list as a newspaper, you could always check our Paper.li account: http://paper.li/Liberationtech#/ Our Liberationtech blog has been dead for a while, but we are working on reviving it. If you are interested in helping out, please let us know. We also have a series of listservs on topics related to Liberationtech. The most important lists are the following: - Events: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/libera tiontech-events - Jobs: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech-jobs - CfP: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech-cfp For the aforementioned lists, we try to compile a list of all events, job opportunities, and call for papers related to Liberationtech from all over the world. It's not a comprehensive list, so your assistance would be helpful. If you hear of a job, event, or cfp that would be of benefit to Liberationtech subscribers, please let us know. Finally, we want to take Liberationtech to the next level. What that means, we don't know. But the world has changed a lot since we started back in 2008: Censorship is on the rise. Internet freedom is on the decline. And we have become much more of a community of hackers and cybersecurity professionals who seek to protect vulnerable communities around the world. So if you have ideas of projects you would like to see us take on, please let us know. We want the Liberationtech community to drive the process. Any idea is welcome. Dream big or small. Just let us know how you think we can best help. Thanks, Yosem (One of the moderators) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
