Hi everyone, NOTICE: Please do not forward this message to other lists.
On Friday, October 22nd, the Uganda LUG will host an event titled "Open Source Journalism" at UNICEF's Kampala headquarters.
This will be a single day event targeted toward local and international journalists, their organizations senior information technology staff, their upper management, and other media stakeholders. The purpose of this event is to train attendees on a variety of valuable tools and skills relevant to the field of journalism. The timing of this event is important due to the upcoming elections in Uganda and the secession referendum in Sudan.
This event will feature talks by Wikileaks, CNN string reporter Greg Branch, Ushahidi & Swift River lead developer Matt Griffiths, renowned author and Hackers for Charity founder Johnny Long, Lydia Namubiru from the Grameen Foundation, and more. We will cover topics such as encryption, online anonymity, crowd-sourcing & social media, data transfer techniques, social engineering, content management systems, and more.
This event is free and will include snacks, a light lunch, and refreshments. Please note that while this event is /invite-only/ so that we can guarantee space for our target audience, 25 seats have been allocated for Uganda LUG members on a /first-come first-serve/ basis. If you plan to attend, you /must/ register here: http://linux.or.ug/node/684
NOTE: If any of you on this list work in journalism, please contact me off-list about getting an invite so that these 25 seats can be spared for non-journo LUG members.
The event starts at 8:30am sharp. We look forward to seeing you there! Regards, Kyle Spencer
