Hi,
I heard from someone at TA3M that they would like to have a report of our
December 15 event for inclusion in TA3M's records. I'm including Cascadia,
SURF, and the Wikimedia Foundation on the to and/or bcc lines of this email
as well.
* The signup spreadsheet had 30 unique registrations after removing one
person who backed out and two duplicate entries, and I counted about 30
people present at the event.
* Affiliations noted on the signup spreadsheet include TA3M Seattle,
Cascadia Wikimedians User Group, the University of Washington, Seattle
Privacy Coalition, and SURF Incubator.
* We had six speakers. The presentations were about the following subjects:
1. Overview of Surf Incubator
2. Firmware manifesto to OEMs
3. Privacy and Wikipedia Zero
4. Ricochet instant messaging software
5. Lightning photography with free software
6. Overview of the Seattle Privacy Coalition
* We had a roundtable discussion about editing Wikipedia through Tor and
open proxies.
* We had more pizza than we needed (:
* Anecdotal reports are that the venue was good, the food was good, the
presentations were good, and the networking was good.
* The suggestion has been made that we hold a similar event in December of
next year.
Cheers,
Pine

*One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies The deep rock of
our past, in which we must delve The well of our future,The clear water we
must leave untainted for those who come after us,The fertile earth, in
which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,And the broad
fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not
know.*
