CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Radical Networks

    radnets_1

    DEADLINE:  August 10

    From mass surveillance to the over-commercialization of the Internet, the technology that we depend upon for community and connection is being compromised. The recent accessibility of networking technology through devices such as the Raspberry Pi and software such as BATMAN Adv has made it affordable and possible for everyday citizens to learn how to design their own web servers and networks.

    We are seeking speakers, panel proposals, demos, and workshop leaders who would like to teach or present their ideas on computer networks. Some possible topics include:

    Offline networks
    Mesh networks
    Local networks for community
    Experimental application of computer networks
    Networks for political activism
    Network security for ordinary citizens
    Artistic use of computer networks
    Personal networks
    Bringing connectivity to rural areas
    Experimental social networks
    Control and ownership of networks
    Ethical hacking
    … and anything else that takes a fresh or critical look at how networks are used!

    October 24-25, 2015
