[sudo-discuss] SF Technoactivism Third Monday 6PM 2013-02-18 -- Q&A with Melissa Chan, targeted journalist in China

It's time for another monthly meet-up for those involved in anti-censorship, anti-surveillance, transparency and other hacktivism tools: Technoactivism Third Mondays returns to Noisebridge, President's Day, 2013-02-18, from 6PM - 7.30PM. This week, we'll have a Q&A with roving Al Jazeera correspondent, Melissa Chan. Chan has the unique honor of being both targetted for spear-phishing malware when working in Beijing, and being used as the fake source of malware against Bahraini activists when working in the Middle-East. She's currently a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford, where she is working on developing an online toolkit for journalists to protect their computers against hackers and safeguard communications with sources. Chat with Chan about the realities of digital surveillance around the world, announce your current project or idea, meet with other hackers and activists, working on protective tools, or just have some appetizers before finding a good place to eat dinner with your old and new friends. Reply to this mail to RSVP, offers of lightning talks, or to arrange consignment deliveries of vegan cupcakes.
