I would love for some Wikimedia technologists interested in our users' privacy to put on an event within this festival (sort of like a devroom at FOSDEM). http://opensourcebridge.org/sessions/1397 - Steven Walling's talk "Data, Privacy, & Trust in Open Source: 10 Lessons from Wikipedia" might be of interest, as a case study in a big site respecting privacy. Maybe people could talk about a reasonable policy on editing from Tor nodes, work towards using something other than IPs to denominate "anon" editors, discuss privacy of people who have been recorded in Commons media files, hack on our HTTPS-related infrastructure, or do other cool stuff.
