Nathan is the founder and director of Guardian Project, an award-winning free software mobile security collaborative with millions of users and beneficiaries worldwide. Their most well known app is Orbot, which brings the Tor anonymity and circumvention network to Android devices, and has been installed more than 20 million times. In late 2017, he co-designed an app called Haven with Edward Snowden; Haven works as a personal security system that puts the power of surveillance back into the hands of the most vulnerable and under threat. His work on off-grid, decentralized, secure mobile communication networks, dubbed Wind, was originally imagined and workshopped while Nathan was a fellow at the Berkman-Klein Center in 2015. In 2018, Wind was selected as a finalist in the Mozilla-National Science Foundation "Wireless Innovation for a Networked Society (WINS)" Challenge.

Jamie McClelland, Alfredo Lopez & Jaime Villarreal

-

The cost of wide spread adoption of the corporate controlled internet is omnipresent surveillance, algorithmic racism, censorship and targeted manipulation of people of color. Are we ready to change? Can we envision people of color ownership of technology and community control grounded in social justice values?

-

Seasoned activists of the liberatory Internet movement will guide participants through an interactive time-line exercise: mapping the points in people of color movements’ histories that have shaped our relationship with the Internet for the last quarter century, exploring how we’ve used internet communications for movement resilience, and collectively strategizing what our future relationship should be. Technology is political and this exercise makes the case for the need of free software.

-Plom was developed because existing grading software was usually proprietary, too expensive, did not allow for the complexity of multiversioned tests required for crowded exam rooms, and might not respect local privacy laws. Plom respects privacy of student data: all data stays on your server, and markers do not see student names or IDs while they are marking.
-Plom is GPLv3 licensed and is currently in use at the University of British Columbia. As an undergraduate student team, we made significant improvements to the functionality and correctness of Plom, and are excited to share our contributions with you.
