Slashdot Mirror

Doran writes: "We interviewed Neal Stephenson this Wednesday morning for Digital Village and will be playing Part One of the tape this Saturday and Part Two on April 29th. We discussed his recent talk at CFP2000, his thoughts on Open Source vs. Everything Else, and how the cypherpunks have received latest effort. It starts a little slow (it was 6 a.m. for us, 9 a.m. for him) but once we got going, it was pretty interesting. For those of you not in Southern California, we'll be posting the program in RealAudio by Sunday evening. "

Roger Clarke, a computer scientist at Australian National University, was lucky enough to attend the Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference this year, and has placed his notes online. CFP covered nearly every topic we address in the YRO section of Slashdot, so this is recommended reading for anyone interested in freedom of speech, privacy, encryption, domain names, or a host of other issues. It sounds like Neal Stephenson's address alone was worth the cost of attendance...

The advance program for the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy Conference is now available. The conference is in early April, in Toronto, Canada. They are also offering scholarships for full-time students - deadline January 31 - this is an excellent opportunity to attend one of the most important internet conferences.

The organizers of the next Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference, to be held April 4-7, 2000, in Toronto, Canada, are issuing a Call for Participation in a workshop entitled "Freedom and Privacy by Design" - how to use technology to bring about strong protections of civil liberties against governments and businesses that would censor or snoop. I plan to attend: give me some ideas!
