TODAY: Circumvention Tools Hackfest in NYC #netfreedom

Open ITP

Open ITPThe Open Internet Tools Project has partnered with FreedomBox, InformSec and ISOC-NY to host a circumvention tools hackfest in NYC right before HOPE. The hackfest started yesterday and there are still three days left to plan, code and learn! If you want to hack on anti-censorship or anti-surveillance tools, bring your project, bring your skills and bring your friends. This event will be focused on writing code and solving design problems. We won’t have any long presentations (there will be enough of those at HOPE), though we will have lightning talks and will give away a door prize or two.

Where: Columbia Law School, Jerome Greene Hall, 116th and Amsterdam (Room 546)
When: July 9 – 12, 10 am
Who: Privacy and free communication hackers like you
