Hi! If anyone here cares about privacy. :-) Mitar -------- Original Message -------- Data Privacy Legal Hack-A-thon This is an unprecedented year documenting our loss of Privacy. Never before have we needed to stand up and team up to do something about it. In honour of Privacy Day, the Legal Hackers are leading the charge to do something about it, inspiring a two-day international Data Privacy Legal Hackathon. This is no ordinary event. Instead of talking about creating privacy tools in theory, the Data Privacy Legal Hackathon is about action! A call to action for tech & legal innovators who want to make a difference! Across three locations on February 8th & 9th, 2014 * New York City * London, UK <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/data-privacy-london-legal-hack-a-thon-tickets-10168166259>* Bay Area * http://legalhackers.org/privacyhack2014/ This two-day event aims to mix the tech and legal scenes with people and companies that want to champion personal data privacy. Connecting entrepreneurs, developers, product makers, legal scholars, lawyers, and investors. Each location will host a two-day “judged” hacking competition with a prize awarding finale, followed by an after-party to celebrate the event.
