Here's the list of speakers, courtesy of Emmanuel Goldstein, which includes many politechnicals: http://www.politechbot.com/p-03713.html I'm speaking today at 9 pm: http://www.h2k2.net/display_grid.khtml?event=45 >The New FBI and How It Can Hurt You >On May 29, the Federal Bureau of Investigation dramatically changed its >focus. Now, instead of investigating crimes, its mission is to prevent >them, meaning they have virtual carte blanche to infiltrate any law >abiding organization or gathering to make sure all is right. And, even >better, their third priority of dangerous crimes to stop (next to >terrorism and espionage) is "cybercrime." We all know what a wide net that >can be. Hear the dangers firsthand from the people who follow this kind of >thing. Hosted by Mike Levine, Declan McCullagh, and Robert Steele. and Saturday at noon: http://www.h2k2.net/display_grid.khtml?event=17 >Educating Lawmakers - Is It Possible? >Trying to educate Congress about technology is approximately as useful as >teaching a pig to type. It doesn't work and you get one peeved pig. But >there are sometimes ways to make a difference in law and policy circles >without becoming a wholly owned tool of the Demopublican Party. A >discussion with journalist Declan McCullagh and cryptologist Matt Blaze. See y'all there! -Declan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
