Hacktivism the final lecture

In the last part of the series on Hacktivism we're hoping to have a Wojtek Bogusz as guest lecturer talking about digital rights, freedom of communication and privacy in the context of activism.

Wojtek Bogusz is a digital security consultant, providing training and advice to human rights activists on how to increase the privacy and freedom of communication in repressive environments.
He currently works for the Dublin based Front Line, an international foundation for the protection of Human Rights defenders. He is also the co-author and project leader of ‘Security in a Box’ – a toolkit of software and guides for improving computer security and privacy.
He is a devoted practitioner of Free and Open Source Software and was the project leader of the Tactical Technology Collective from January 2003 to April 2006, preparing and organising workshops for developers, NGO activists and technical consultants across the world.

The lecture will be held on Sunday 10th of April at 1230pm at the Exchange in Temple Bar, Dublin. All are welcome, no prior knowledge is required only an inquisitive and/or argumentative nature.
