Dear Free Software Sydney, Firstly I would like to welcome a new member to the group Ellen ForSyth. Thank you for joining us! I welcome you personally to our group. Now I would like to discuss... There is a project collaborating with the ACLU in the US. It's called the Library Freedom Project (LFP). “The Library Freedom Project is a partnership among librarians, technologists, attorneys, and privacy advocates which aims to make real the promise of intellectual freedom in libraries. By teaching librarians about surveillance threats, privacy rights and responsibilities, and digital tools to stop surveillance, we hope to create a privacy-centric paradigm shift in libraries and the local communities they serve.” https://libraryfreedomproject.org/ourwork/ Here is a document that was given to me by Alison Macrina, the organizer of the US based project. It is a document that is described in an American context that is used with in ACLU to promote this project. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6a6GidWUZ4PWWU3WFFveTdiNkk Also there is a document titled "join LFP" which is another Document that explains more about the US based project. https://libraryfreedomproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/join-LFP.pdf I want to start an Australian based project in Sydney. Currently I have code named the project I wish get started "Free Libraries Australia". Please let me know if you are interested. ***In Addition *** If you are not already doing so please start using TOR Browser https://www.torproject.org Start using GNU Privacy Guard (Email Encryption) learn how: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/ ***In Addition *** Kind Regards, -- Andri Effendi <fusionman133(a)gmx.de> Organiser of The Free Software Movement in Sydney www.freesoftware.org.au/ GPG fingerprint: 8438 138D ECDA 05E0 591F F2B4 4721 0F03 AC24 DF73 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted.
