Why IPS? certainly this will attract more to turn up?
To TOC: for those who are not able to attend, will you be running a summary of the topics covered after the seminar?
Hi Peter,
yes we will. Look out for announcements after the event.
How about an hour dedicated to –
How to remain anonymous online – How to get around state sanctioned Internet blocking – how to find and use proxy servers like TOR ….
There seems to be hardly any posts on this issue.
It will be interesting to see who attends.
All those gahmen bashers are nowhere to be seen here.
Anonymity is so safe.
still waiting for the website on the seminar content and speeches – is anybody working on it?
