Photos from the 2004 Computers, Freedom
and Privacy Conference in Berkeley
04/24/2004 03:37 AM I spent the last 3 days at the 2004 Computers, Freedom and Privacy
Conference in Berkeley, and enjoyed it a lot. One of the highlights of
the conference was getting to see in person so many people I admire,
like Phil Zimmerman and John Gilmore, but whom I only know through
reading about them. I also got to meet many of the people behind the
group emails that I get as a member/subscriber of various
organizations, such as the CDT, EPIC, EFF, and the ACLU, alerting me
to issues and asking me for money or to take action. I took a fair
number of photos at the conference and posted them tonight at 2004
Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference. Hopefully over the weekend
I'll get a chance to write up my impressions of the conference....

Internet Research: Privacy, Ethics and
Alienation – An Open Source Approach
Internet Research: Privacy, Ethics and
Alienation – An Open Source Approach
01/03/2005 06:25 AMInternet Research: Privacy, Ethics and Alienation – An Open
Source Approach by David M. Berry
http://opensource.m
it.edu/papers/berry2.pdf
Abstract:
This paper examines some of the
ethical problems involved in undertaking Internet research and draws
on historical accounts as well as contemporary studies to offer an
analysis of the issues raised. It argues that privacy is a misleading
and confusing concept to apply to the Internet, and that the concept
of non-alienation is more resourceful in addressing the many ethical
issues surrounding Internet research. Using this as a basis, the paper
then investigates the Free/Libre and Open Source research model and
argues for the principles of ‘open source ethics’ in researching
the online world, which includes a participatory and democratic
research method.

My
March
21 entry about upcoming.org turned out to be an odd juxtaposition
because, on the same day, a new events database called
EVDB was announced and shown at PC
Forum. It's due out shortly in public beta but I haven't seen it, so
for now I only know what you can also learn from reading, among
others:
Dan
Farber,
Ross
Mayfield,
Om Malik,
David
Weinberger, and
Paul
Kedrosky (whose recent archive is missing this morning, yikes).
The consensus seems to be that EVDB will be a Web-2.0-style,
Wiki-style, RSS-friendly, Flickr-and-del.icio.us-like thingy. Sounds
promising! I'll certainly check it out when it's public.

Juneteenth: It's all about freedom
Juneteenth: It's all about freedom
06/19/2004 07:31 AMJune 19 -- long known in Texas simply as Juneteenth -- is a unique
state holiday. It's the anniversary of the day in 1865 when General
Gordon Granger landed in Galveston, Texas, and read aloud the
Emancipation Proclamation, two and a half years after it should have
taken effect. Although General Lee had surrendered a couple of months
earlier, there were simply not enough Union troops present prior to
General Granger's arrival to enforce the proclamation.

bought the freedom of two young

wasn't as simple as you might think. It's easy to be cynical (yes,
he's using it as grist for columns; yes, it's a drop in the bucket),
but isn't it better than doing nothing? Anyway, it's a fascinatingly
messy story. (He discusses why he picked these particular girls, and

06/25/2004 02:13 PMDahlia Lithwick (Slate): A Supreme Court
Dialogue. I don't think it's possible to overstate the
importance of these decisions, yet I fear the public still somehow
believes they just have to do with some guys "out there," a handful of
terrorists down at Gitmo and some bad men in Navy brigs. The photos
accompanying these stories on the front pages will all be of alleged
terrorists, even though these cases are really all about the
president. The truth is, those alleged terrorists may, at most, win
the right to a hearing someday, in which they will probably be deemed
bad guys again and locked up anyhow. These cases have everything to do
with the scope of executive power and secrecy in wartime (and outside
of wartime if you throw in the Cheney energy task force case).
Padilla's a footnote.
Views of Freedom
Views of Freedom
05/17/2004 12:13 AMThe recent
relea
se of MT3.0 has provoked a whole lot of smart commentary around
the net over the past few days: for example see Simon Phipps (
here
and
here) and Alan
Bleaklow. But the one that hit me hardest is Mark Pilgrim’s
Freedom
0. This piece has been criticized (correctly) as disconnected from
the way consumer software works (summary: users pay for features). And
indeed, Mark doesn’t think about this the way a consumer would: how
many of them run eleven sites? Instead, he thinks about this like
a CIO does .
“Freedom 0” is all about predictability and risk reduction; CIO
territory, big-time. Mark carries the argument to extremes because
that’s the kind of writer he is, but it’s an argument everyone in
the software business should be thinking about.
