Hi everyone, As some of you might know, the team at Security First is doing some work to breach the gap with some sectors that could benefit from the knowledge of the LiberationTech community and others.
In particular, the humanitarian aid space is only now really starting to increase it's use of technology (in comparison to the human rights world) and by extension, starting to think about the problems of digital security. There is currently a report (Communications technology and humanitarian delivery: challenges and opportunities for security risk management) coming out which deals with this topic (by the European Interagency Security Forum - www.eisf.eu) and it will be read by many people in that sector who have never dealt with this sort of thing. We have been asked to write a relatively short (only 2500 words allowed) paper for the report entitled "Trends in intelligence gathering by governments." Our idea is try and introduce some strategic concepts and mitigation measures then direct the reader towards more detailed sources (all the various organisations and tools in this community etc.). I was wondering if anyone has a spare hour next week to offer some community peer review on what we are writing and generally provide some constructive criticism? We will of course be happy to mention you in the report (only if your happy with that of course). Have a great weekend everyone! Rory -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
