<pre wrap="">I'm presenting at a conference in NZ at the weekend called Surveillance,
Copyright, Privacy: The End of the Open Internet, and I'm going to be
talking a bit about some of the stuff you guy do (TTFA and running
workshops giving non-techie explanations of GPG/TOR etc)

I think it's worth mentioning as well that there's a bit of a
groundswell of wider interest in this kind of thing and that events
are happening under the cryptoparty banner. There are events listed
up here. <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.cryptoparty.in/parties/upcoming">https://www.cryptoparty.in/parties/upcoming</a><br>
we're doing one in manchester<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://manchester.openrightsgroup.org/">http://manchester.openrightsgroup.org/</a><br>
<br>
and very much a similar hacklab style but aiming at a wider
audience. <br>
i've been tweeting about it to get a wider demographic to these
events pushing that for many people this should be part of their
professional duties, or if they are recreational drug users, etc. <br>

The presentation I've been putting together is here
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://prezi.com/x__fkar9-gzd/contesting-control-in-surveillance-societies/">http://prezi.com/x__fkar9-gzd/contesting-control-in-surveillance-societies/</a>
Basically the gist of the talk is that whilst there's been a lot of
hysteria about how the Snowden/NSA stuff places us within a 1984-esque
society of total surveillance, there are numerous tools available which
still provide pretty good levels of privacy, and these have been tools
that the tech activist community have long advocated people use if they
want to communicate privately. Where I end up at is the need for
engagement with publics/communities and educational work/materials to
communicate the existence and usability of these tools (hence Hacktionlab).
Any thoughts/feedback/corrections would be welcome :-)</pre>
