[liberationtech] Call for Participation – ACM SigComm2015 – Workshop on Ethics in Networked Systems Research
Call for Participation – ACM SigComm2015 – Workshop on Ethics in Networked Systems Research Co-located with ACM SIGCOMM’15http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2015/ August 21st 2015 London, UK A full day workshop titled “Ethics in Networked Systems Research” will be held at the ACM SIGCOMM 2015 in London. This multidisciplinary workshop will bring together two distinct groups of researchers: - Computer scientists, network scientists and other technical researchers who are interested in the ethical and legal aspects of their work; - Researchers studying the various ethical, social scientific and legal aspects of data-driven projects in the field of computer and data communication networks. This workshop seeks 1 to 4 page summaries, focussing on ethical considerations of papers, publications and projects from the two disciplines, for example: - Technical research in the field of computer and data communication networks that either operates in an ethical grey zone, collects and processes personal data/personal identifiable information, or has been rejected from another venue on ethical grounds; - Ethical, social scientific or legal research that reflects on – or aims to guide – technical research and projects in the field of computer and data communication networks, especially an analysis to minimise the potential harm whilst enabling a broad range of Internet research to be conducted. Selected authors and invited speakers will present their work, which will be followed by a structured discussion. The workshop will also facilitate an interactive session in which participants will split into multidisciplinary groups and address emerging ethical dilemmas in Internet measurement and information controls research, partly based on the submitted summaries. This session will be informed by a website (currently under development), that presents ethical guidelines for the fields of Internet measurement and information control. Papers submitted to this workshop will not be archived in the formal sense, so authors can submit papers elsewhere, or submit summaries of previously accepted papers. Important Dates Paper submission deadline – March 31st, 2015 Paper acceptance notification – April 30th, 2015 Organisers Prof. Ian Brown – Oxford Internet Institute Dr. Joss Wright – Oxford Internet Institute Bendert Zevenbergen – Oxford Internet Institute Erin Kenneally – University of California San Diego, Center for Applied Internet Research Elchemy, Inc.

[liberationtech] Help crowd-source Open Data Day event details, hashtags, etc. - Timely Volunteer Opportunity
Help edit here:http://bit.ly/oddeventdetails From: Steven Clift cl...@e-democracy.org Date: Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 10:55 AM Subject: Timely non-tech Poplus volunteer opportunity! Help crowdsource links *today* or tomorrow To: poplus pop...@googlegroups.com Hey all, You may have seen my Open Data contact/link data note just now. During the Poplus Hangout, there were a number of tweets about what we are doing to share Poplus.org during Open Data Day. - Great question! One of the key things we need to share Poplus information is direct contact information for local events - so jump in right now and help: http://bit.ly/oddeventdetails ... and follow some of the links to the event websites and then add links and information you can find. The host email and Twitter accounts are the most useful in terms of us being able to -actually- contact these efforts or follow local event on Twitter, photo sites, etc. So, jump right in and take a few cities. I see three key general Poplus.org ODD opportunities: 1. Get Poplus components/effort mentioned to those assembled as a new up and coming civic tech coding collaboration. Invite people to join our online group to really get involved: http://bit.ly/poplusgroup If you will be at an ODD event, ask to speak briefly. Or at least Tweet various links. 2. Share the link to the Poplus.org/components page to hackathon teams as they first convene as invite them to see if they can leverage a component in there project. Or if you are at an event, organized a team to deploy a component with national/local open government data, etc. or work on one. Perhaps a local version of http://yournextmp.com or Say It might be a possibility, etc.? 3. If your event is an Unconference, propose a session on Civic Technology Components and perhaps adapt the slide from today's hangout to help kick off a What are civic tech components? Microservices? What is Poplus? - http://bit.ly/poplushangoutslides Do others have ideas? Please share. Thanks, Steven Clift -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.
