From eviljoel at linux.com Mon Apr 11 22:01:16 2016 From: eviljoel at linux.com (eviljoel) Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2016 00:01:16 -0500 Subject: [Chicago-talk] Surveillance Self-Defense 101 - April 16, Chicago Near North Side Message-ID: <570C811C.9090808@linux.com> Hello All, I'm casting a little wider net for this event because I believe we are a little bit behind on our target number of registrations. This Saturday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation is working in collaboration with the Chicago Linux Users Group to run an event to teach activists about encryption. Details are below and attached. Please forward to any activists you know. Thanks, eviljoel Surveillance Self-Defense 101: A teach-in for activists and lawyers Saturday April 16, 2016, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM https://chicagolug.org/meetings/2016-04-16.html On Saturday, April 16th, members of the Chicago GNU/Linux User Group along with Shahid Buttar from the Electronic Frontier Foundation will co-host a free workshop on surveillance self-defense. The workshop will be open to the public, though particularly structured for activists and lawyers who support social movements. You are not expected to be a technical expert to attend this session - it is geared towards regular smartphone and laptop users. We will be sharing knowledge of surveillance, some immediate and practical steps you can take to protect your communications, and how to work with neighbors to influence surveillance policy at the state and local level. To get the most out of the event, we recommend that you bring your phone and/or laptop. The event will take place at SPACE, located at 444 N. Wabash Ave in downtown Chicago. The session will start at 11:00am, and will last approximately four hours. We recommend that you take public transit to attend the event. SPACE is conveniently located near the Grand Avenue stop on the CTA Red Line, and is wheelchair accessible. Pizza and other refreshments will be served. There is no cost to attend, but we encourage (though not require) that you RSVP so that we may plan accordingly. And feel free share this event, too! Registrations are handled via the EFF website (https://www.eff.org/04-16-16-CHI). We look forward to seeing you on April 16th! Special Notes: Legal professionals licensed to practice in Illinois will have an opportunity to receive Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit for a $25 cost. We will have vegetarian food options available. If you prefer a vegan, gluten free, or other food option, please send an email to tux at chicagolug.org with your request.

Using Ovid?s Veure MMO as an example, I?ll discuss what we are logging and why, how we use fluentd to collect information at all levels in the game?s stack, and the tools and processes we use to analyze that data.
