Fwd: government shut down & open web

by Eddan Katz

sent from eddan.com Begin forwarded message: > From: Peter Harter <farrington(a)gmail.com> > Date: October 4, 2013, 9:39:32 AM PDT > To: "netpolicy(a)mozilla.org" <Netpolicy(a)mozilla.org> > Subject: government shut down & open web > > As you may already know many US government websites have shuttered, so to speak, as a result of the budget shut down. Reminds me of how Internet freedom issue campaigns have rallied attention by altering or closing websites. > > Seems to me that this moment is a possible opportunity for Mozilla to educate the public about the importance of the open Web and how it is all around us every day. > > During the previous shut down in the mid 90s people became fed up with a lack of access to government services such as visas for overseas travel. I don't know if it was a simple pressure point of very wealthy and well connected people that got fed up with Newt Gingrich and wanted to have their vacations to go forward. But that is one of the anecdotes one heard at the time. > > Do people that care about the open Web care at all about a lack of access to government websites? > > For example, people do care about a lack of access to national parks and how that disrupts their vacations, ruins the income to businesses dependent on those parks and pushes those workers into poverty and onto government assistance. > > Is there an example that we can think of to make a similar cascading deprivation narrative connecting the shut down of government websites to a broader impact that burdens us all? > > This I think would help underscore the point that Harvey made to me a year ago or so -- that the open Web needs to be a regular part of a kitchen table conversation, akin to what it took or many to move clean air out of the environmentalist extremes and into the very mainstream. > > I can't say that the shut down of the US government is that tipping point for the open Web. > > But since we've all seen the shuttering of websites as a timeworn tactic for two decades now, I thought I should raise it with you all here for contemplation and for discussion perhaps during the Mozilla Summit. > > Peter > _______________________________________________ > Netpolicy mailing list > Netpolicy(a)mozilla.org > https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/netpolicy

2141 Broadway Co-Op?

by Andrew

I haven't been around all that much, but am I correct to assume that the current situation is that: 1. Sudo Room's current lease ends Jan 1st 2. George is willing to sell off part of 2141 to a group of investors? If this is so. Let's talk 2141 Co-Op. *Is there anyone on this list who would be at all interested in owning part of a building in the middle of Downtown Oakland*?? Sudo Room or not, this is a great opportunity for a collective to turn some extremely prime real estate in to a commercial Co-Op. Just wanted to bring attention to this. Thoughts? -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

Network of Trust

by Eddan Katz

Hi Sudo folk. I wanted to both advertise and solicit help with a project I've been working on called Network of Trust (http://networkoftrust.net/). The idea is that the best way to choose who to hire for different services is based on recommendations and advice from your friends and family. Speaking of which, this is a project I've been working on with my dad. Who has been known to lurk on this list. Since I've never had the opportunity to introduce my dad, I'm going to try and use as much Internet jargon as I can for him to look up. Please bear with me. My father, Michael, is a true geek at heart. He went to the Technion Institute in Haifa, Israel to study engineering "back in the olden days" as his grand-daughter likes to say. He later got his business degree at NYU and worked at a company called Celesco, which made transducers, for most of his career. He retired sometime about last year - and Network of Trust is one of things he spends his time on. He's kind of like Robert de Niro from Meet the Parents. So I think what we need the most help with is some eyeballs on how the back-end is put together, since the guy who did it is working on other things now. Also, as always, need people to sign up and to use it. Comments and suggestions would be very much appreciated. OK, dad, don't be shy. These are nice people. Mostly. -Eddan

must read guardian leaks on tor

by Praveen Sinha

In case you haven't seen the news today, here's the summary and analysis from Bruce Schneier good to send to your non-tech friends): http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/04/tor-attacks-nsa-users-online-a… And the leaked doc itself straight from GCHQ for straight up infosec nerds: http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/oct/04/tor-stinks-nsa-pre… Fascinating to see their capabilities and limitations. Open question: What does everyone think the next generation architecture/next versions of TOR should have given all of this?
