-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [liberationtech] NSA recruiting at Joint Mathematics Meetings Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 23:07:42 +0000 From: Jeffrey Burdges The Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMMs) are the largest mathematics conference in the U.S. with numerous young math PhDs looking for jobs, doing interviews, etc. http://jointmathematicsmeetings.org/jmm As I understand it, the NSA has their usual recruiting booth at the JMMs this year. There should ideally have been a lobbying effort to get the NSA booted form the JMMs, much like Feds were booted from DEF CON last summer. Alexander Beilinson did suggest that the AMS should separate itself from the NSA in Notices of the AMS, col 60, no. 11. He wrote "The NSA destroyed the security of the Internet and privacy of communications for the whole planet. But if any healing is possible, it would probably start with making the NSA and its ilk socially unacceptable?just as, in the days of my youth, working for the KGB was socially unacceptable for many in the Soviet Union." http://www.ams.org/notices/201311/rnoti-p1432.pdf To my knowledge, there has not been any concerted effort to obstruct the NSA's recruiting efforts at the JMMs specifically. There is not enough time to do much now since the JMMs take place next week, from Tuesday 14 January till Saturday 18 January, at the Baltimore Convention Center. Any thoughts on lobbying the math societies like the AMS, MAA, etc. that run the JMMs to remove the NSA's booth next year? Just another letter to the Notices of the AMS? A generic online petition? Best, Jeff p.s. It'd obviously be lovely if anyone protested the NSA booth at the event, but I doubt conference goers will do so. People without conference badges have never had access to the exhibit hall in past years. p.s. I whipped up the attached letter with the thought of posting it to a generic petition site, but not enough time remains. -- lilo http://wiki.debian.org/LILO #### -Da grande faro' il cattivo esempio, questo e' uno stage formativo- bit in rebels GnuPG/PGP Key-Id: 0x5D172559 FINGERPRINT: AB62 DC0E 3CB3 2B83 6333 5DF4 9674 A4B3 5D17 2559 server: pgp.mit.edu -------------- parte successiva -------------- Un allegato non testuale รจ stato rimosso....
