Right this moment, I am watching the remote feed of
the GlobalVoices Summit 08 http://summit08.globalvoicesonline.org/stream/
and I must say both the quality of the remote and the speakers are excellent.
If you can tune in right now, I recommend it.
In addition, Diplo Expert Robert Guerra will be on the following
panel at hmm. 3:30 pm Budapest time, 9:00 am Venezuela time,
1:30 pm GMT. Since his perspective will be on Cuba, it will be quite interesting,
at least for me.
Session 4: “Frontline Activists meet the Academy: Tools and
Knowledge”
Moderator: Ethan Zuckeman, Speakers: Roger Dingledine (Tor), Nart Villeneuve
(Citizen Lab), Isaac Mao (Digital Nomads project, China),
Robert Guerra (Privaterra,
Cuba),
Danny O’Brien (Electronic Frontier Foundation)
Panel Description: The tools to circumvent web filtering and other
methods of online censorship don’t always easily reach the people who
need them. How can we facilitate better coordination between the developers of
these tools and the anti-censorship activists that need them? And also improve
the flow of feedback from the activists to the developers so the latter
can design even better tools?
