Hey there Free Software Melbourne, we're kicking off a new year with a
bit of serious fun, we'll be joined by Rosie Williams from the Little Bird Network.
Rosie is an Open Data Consultant, programmer and one of the new
generation of journalists covering issues like #CensusFail and
#NotMyDebt
SnitchHunt is a game that teaches the public about
metadata: what it is and how it can be used to identify and track
individuals. Come and test the open source beta version of SnitchHunt
with Free Software Melbourne so the developer can see how different
people handle the game. Numbers will be limited. Please bring your own
laptop & internet connection to play although some may be
accommodated by teaming up with others. https://whistleblower.network/snitch/index.php
After
our playtest of SnitchHunt we'll be having our regular Gnews review of
the last couple of months. Hope to see you at 6:30PM on Thursday 16th at
Electron Workshop (31 Arden Street, North Melbourne) for the monthly
Free software Melbourne meetup followed by our usual stroll down Errol
st to find somewhere for dinner and continued chatter
