I know a few CoLoCoers has expressed interest in this but couldn't end
up coming, so here's your chance! (and we got a projector too!)


Do you want to encrypt your data?
Are you worried that somebody might be eavesdropping on your
communications?
Do you want to stop them from being able to hear/read what you say/write?
Do you want to leak documents online? Send email anonymously?
What type of information are you giving away? Who can view it, and under
what premises?
Have you been subject to surveillance in the past?
Are you a member of the media who wants to protect your sources?
Do you want to know how to get past internet filters at school/work?
Do you want to hide information from your boss? Parents?
Are you a blogger who wants to be informed about your rights?
Do you want to put your security to the test?

Now, more than ever, it is critical that we organize and keep security
in mind no matter if we have "something to hide" or not. We know that
they're listening, and if we don't act then we're just handing our lives
over to them. The era where you can freely give out your personal
information to companies or talk in public forums without fear of being
identified it over, so let's learn how to live safely in this new world.

A workshop on computer security and online privacy for activists and
whistleblowers will be held at Denver Open Media on Aug 15 from 7:00 to
approximately 8:00PM. Denver Open media is at 700 Kalamath St. Denver
80204. If you have computers, bring them!

Here is a preliminary agenda of what will be presented:

> Encryption for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. When, how, and why it
should be deployed. (Full disk encryption, file/folder encryption, email
encryption, IM encryption)
> Hiding your identity online: The how and why
> Who can see information about you, when, how, and under what premises?
> Filters/Blocking Systems: types and how to get around them

The agenda is up for change as we feel out what the needs of the
participants are. Bring your computers and bring ideas.
