Profile pages wheeeee.

I bounce around a lot. When I'm in SF, I sometimes hang out at Noisebridge. I used to spend a lot more attention on hackerspaces, but now I spend most of my attention on disasters and humanitarian response.

It's online in a (mostly) functioning form at http://tor2web.org . Jot2tor is an extension of this allowing users to use Aaron's jottit.com framework to easily create pages hosted on hidden services. Naturally, pages created via jot2tor are accessible from tor2web. Aaron and I actually worked on both of these projects until his death.

PeerLibrary provides a search engine to search over all uploaded open access publications. Additionally, it aims to collaboratively aggregate the open layer of knowledge on top of this publications through public annotations and references user will add to publications. In this way publications would not just be available to read, but accessible to the general public as well. Currently, it is aiming at scientific community and scientific publications, but could be deployed for any other field (a StackExchange-like family is envisioned).

*Archiving Aaron's writings (psawaya, '''SF'''). I think it'd be helpful to produce an archive of Aaron's writings, as the formatting on his blog isn't well-organized or good for reading on mobile devices.

I've registered 14 domains that are variations of the three main prosecutors in Aaron's trail (i.e. carmenortiz.org, stephenheymann.org, etc.) The names Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann are already synonymous with abuse of power. Let's cement that while drawing attention to other activists/whistleblowers who are being prosecuted for non-crimes. While we're at it, let's give prosecutors something useful to do by highlighting well documented but unprosecuted crimes (I'm looking at you John Yoo/Jamie Dimon/James Clapper).

* Overview Project (Ian, SF): an open-source tool to help journalists (or anyone!) find stories in large sets of documents, by automatically sorting them according to topic and providing a fast visualization and reading interface.

** Two projects we'd love to collaborate on are:
*** '''An SMS campaigning tool''' - Similar to MobileCommons, but open source. We have funding from Twilio that will enable this to exist as a "warning broadcast system" for people interested in tech advocacy. How it should work: The system would allow a user to sign up (either via SMS or via a web form) to receive SMS updates about tech advocacy projects. When a user signs up they immediately receive a text confirming their signup, and they can opt out any time. Admins can send messages to all subscribers via an admin interface.
*** '''Crowdsourced anti-apathy platform''' - There's quite a bit of apathy with regards to surveillance in both the tech community and in the general public. We've been brainstorming to try and figure out how we can effectively convince people that it matters. Our best proposal thus far is to create a system to crowdsource the most convincing content, videos, photos and articles from around the web. Users would then be able to upvote the things that they found the most convincing.

=== Essence ===
* Mozilla is working on a number of awesome new projects (Webmaker, FirefoxOS, Firefox Accounts, etc) that together are greater than the sum of their parts and will (hopefully) help the web leapfrog traditionally native platforms in ways that restore sovereignty to users!
* There's but one major thing missing in Mozilla's current tech roadmaps: an approach to wrangling control of personal data across the web back into the hands of users.
* We're looking to fill this strategic gap by proposing an extensibility model for Mozilla's [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI WebAPI project] that would enable RESTful API ecosystems to align with Mozilla's user-centric values. We are calling this extensibility model 'Essence'
* In nutshell, we are Mozilla volunteers aiming to influence the Firefox development roadmap. To do so, we are building a prototype that demonstrates the UX of Essence that also acts as a forward polyfill for future potential prototypes that can demonstrate the implications of a WebAPI extensibility model for products across Mozilla as well as the API ecosystems across the web.
* Needs: Developers interested in creating Firefox Add-ons, modeling APIs using [http://raml.org/ RAML], or hacking the about:permissions UI in Firefox.

Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon Series

2013-11-09T01:19:24Z

Willowbl00: /* Personal archive */ added project link

The [[Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathons]] generated considerable interest and engagement, but there's more work to be done!

The Second Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon is scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 8. Our official page is [http://aaronswartzhackathon.org here] but this wiki is for coordinating projects.

We are also using #aaronswhack on irc.oftc.net and can be reached on the list org@aaronswartzhackathon.org

[https://pad.textb.org/p/AaronSwHack video etherpad active during the events]

==Motivation==
"We were part of an inchoate, ad-hoc community of collaborators who helped each other learn how to code. No, not how to write code ‒ how to write code for the purpose of changing the world." - Zooko, on memories of Aaron ([http://zooko-on-aaronsw.blogspot.com/2013/02/part-1-by-zooko-wilcox-ohearn-written.html full post here])

==Format==
Structure of the event (condensed from meeting notes):
*In advance at each location, (at least) one presenter is chosen to "pitch" what they consider a vital project. This project should be eminently hackable -- the presenter or another volunteer who knows the project well should be prepared to help interested parties get involved, at many skill levels.
*The event starts like a hybrid (un-)conference, with introductions and short presentations. The pre-announced presenter(s) do these presentations, and during the introductions people can offer or request talks, which are added as time permits on the spot. Total presentation time should be ~1.5-2hrs. Presentations are recorded and immediately posted online (or streamed), for remote participants or people at other hackathons to see.
*Then there's open time to work.
*Finally, at the end of the event, there are 1.5-2hrs of demonstrations of results. Anyone can sign up on the site with info about project status to get a demo slot. Demos are also recorded and posted online, cross-referenced with individuals and projects.

==Proposed Dates==
*Set up a event webpage - [http://aaronswartzhackathon.org Done] (Sept.)
*Recruit hacklabs (as hosts) and activists (as PMs) - Ongoing (Sept./Oct.)
*Get signal-boosting web coverage - Ongoing (Sept./Oct.)
*Run events - Nov. 8 weekend

==San Francisco==
In memory of hacker activist Aaron Swartz, let's get together for a weekend to work on projects for social/political reform, information freedom, preserving our rights on the Internet, and making the world we want to live in. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether or not you code. This event is being organized by [[User:Yan]], so get in touch if you have questions.

We'll be working on several open source projects simultaneously with developers from Tor, EFF, Freedom of the Press Foundation, Mozilla, and other organizations (see projects list above). All of them need your help, no matter who you are! Come find out how you can help us fight mass surveillance and protect whistleblowers, or work on something important that you've been putting off for years, or simply hang out and learn how to use encryption.

Note that the event kicks off at the Internet Archive on Nov 8 but will be at Noisebridge for the rest of the weekend.

If you're coming to the Internet Archive event on Fri, please RSVP via https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ExJpzJY5uy8apNJGK8qPROgfoNXr0u1JdtaL7V8psKA/viewform. No registration is needed for the hackathon at Noisebridge.

===Schedule===
'''Nov. 8 (at the Internet Archive)'''
*5 pm: The [http://archive.org/about/contact.php Internet Archive] opens for early hacking! Yan and possibly others will be around to help people find projects to work on.
*6:30 pm: Reception starts at the Internet Archive. Come mingle.
*7:30 pm: The event kicks off at the Internet Archive on Friday evening with talks from Cindy Cohn (legal director of the EFF), Kevin Poulsen (editor of Wired), Brewster Kahle (founder of the Internet Archive), and others TBA.
*9 pm: Let's start hacking! (Until we get kicked out of the Internet Archive around 10 pm, at which point we might move to Noisebridge?)

'''Nov. 9 (at Noisebridge)'''
*11 am - ?: Hackathon starts up again at Noisebridge! We'll start with more project presentations and then spend the rest of the day working. Come by any time.
*4 pm: Impromptu cryptoparty

'''Nov. 10 (at Noisebridge)'''

Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon Series

2013-09-17T20:48:34Z

Willowbl00: /* Locations */ boston is set

The [[Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathons]] generated considerable interest and engagement, but there's more work to be done!

The Second Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 8. This is a page where you can read about and contribute to organizing aaronsw hackathons around the world.

We are also using #aaronswhack on irc.oftc.net and can be reached on the list aaronswhack@numm.org

==Format==
Structure of the event (condensed from meeting notes):
*In advance at each location, (at least) one presenter is chosen to "pitch" what they consider a vital project. This project should be eminently hackable -- the presenter or another volunteer who knows the project well should be prepared to help interested parties get involved, at many skill levels.
*The event starts like a hybrid (un-)conference, with introductions and short presentations. The pre-announced presenter(s) do these presentations, and during the introductions people can offer or request talks, which are added as time permits on the spot. Total presentation time should be ~1.5-2hrs. Presentations are recorded and immediately posted online (or streamed), for remote participants or people at other hackathons to see.
*Then there's open time to work.
*Finally, at the end of the event, there are 1.5-2hrs of demonstrations of results. Anyone can sign up on the site with info about project status to get a demo slot. Demos are also recorded and posted online, cross-referenced with individuals and projects.

==Proposed Dates==
*Set up a event webpage - NOW (Sept.)
*Recruit hacklabs (as hosts) and activists (as PMs) - NOW (Sept.)
*Get signal-boosting web coverage - Sept/Oct
*Run events - Nov. 8 weekend

==Projects to Work on==
*HTTPS Everywhere (yan): an EFF browser extension to encrypt the web that Aaron worked on. There are a lot of [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&groupdesc=1&group=type&max=200&component=EFF-HTTPS+Everywhere&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=component&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&report=19 tickets] that we could work on, including making an Opera port of the extension.

*Prosecutorial Overreach/Underreach: The DOJ turns a blind eye to war criminals and Wall St crooks yet throws the book at activists like Aaron. I've registered 14 domains that are variations of the three main prosecutors in Aaron's trail (i.e. carmenortiz.org, stephenheymann.org, etc.) The names Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann are already synonymous with abuse of power. Let's cement that while drawing attention to other activists/whistleblowers who are being prosecuted for non-crimes. While we're at it, let's give prosecutors something useful to do by highlighting well documented but unprosecuted crimes (I'm looking at you John Yoo/Jamie Dimon/James Clapper).
