Mozilla Tech Policy Weekend (#MPW16)
=================================
Please join us in Berlin to talk about the policy agenda of Mozilla in
Europe. The weekend is a mini-conference that serves as an opportunity
for radical participation. How do we want to shape the policy agenda of
Mozilla and how can Mozillians connect with policy team members? The
main objective of the event is to identify policy items for Germany and
see how Mozilla participants from the local community can work with
Mozilla in 2016. Topics covered are Open Web, Open Tech, Net Neutrality,
Störerhaftung (German 2nd liability for wifi), gated community vs.
openness, open standards, Privacy intrusion and defense, Data
Sovereignty, Safe Harbor, Net Surveillance, Sensitive business data,
security online.
