Re: [liberationtech] StoryMaker - opinions
Many thanks Brian and Nathan for your detailed replies. I look forward to using StoryMaker and I'll keep up with news about the app. Good luck with the rest of the project and all the best for now Bill -- Community Media Association http://www.commedia.org.uk/ http://twitter.com/community_media Canstream Internet Radio Video http://www.canstream.co.uk/ On 25 July 2013 07:10, Brian Conley bri...@smallworldnews.tv wrote: Hi Bill! Thanks for your interest, comments below. snip https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.guardianproject.mrapp The app is open source (+1) and the developers behind it include Free Press Unlimited, The Guardian Project and Small World News so its provenance is indeed sound. Thanks Bill! We all know its a huge challenge but we are trying hard to achieve it. Nathan has already done a fantastic job explaining the technical details, so I only have a few additional comments, but I'm happy to speak with you directly, or any other member of the list who would like to know more. Firstly we can say that our partners reach approached the problem from a slightly different direction. We at Small World News come from a background working primarily in conflict areas and wanted to find a way to increase the safety of citizen journalists while also improving the impact their content can make by increasing their professionalism and capacity to tell stories. I hope Niels from Free Press Unlimited will chime in, but I can say without their focus on increasing the potential for mobile learning to improve the skills of journalists, the learning and curriculum side of the app would not be what it is. The StoryMaker literature mentions a number of times that the app is to be used for safely reporting and sharing stories and I wonder how this has been substantiated - with particular regard to the fact that it is expected that this app will facilitate free journalism in the (hopefully) emerging democracies of the Middle East: https://www.freepressunlimited.org/en/article/safely-reporting-and-sharing-stories-new-app As Nathan mentioned he has been deeply involved in planning the security functionality, workflow, threat model, etc. Additionally, the system for delivering lessons utilizes SSL certificate pinning to counter MITM attacks and limit the necessity for activists and journalism trainees to carry hard copies and insecure manuals. Eventually this content should exist entirely in an encrypted container. It would be interesting/useful to know how StoryMaker can offer to protect a user's safety or, as no absolute guarantees can ever be made, up to what degree of security can be expected from this app. So far, I have found a short reference to users are able to send data from their smartphone through the Tor network making it difficult to trace. As Nathan has mentioned, there are a number of elements already functioning as part of StoryMaker and by next month we will have a new release that integrates obscuracam functionality and hopefully records content directly in an encrypted fashion. We are also pursuing funding to develop the potential for users to publish to additional platforms over tor via their public API, and including an option for uploading via tor to a private server. StoryMaker looks an excellent app and we are looking at its use by citizen journalists. I hope you like it! So far its being treated and implemented in Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, and Zimbabwe. We are pursuing some additional opportunities as well, and clearly need to start blogging more regularly about the projects progress. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have other questions or know individuals who might like further information or support deploying StoryMaker in their projects. Thanks do much for the interest!!

The survey will be conducted through Thursday, August 16, 2012, and aggregated survey results will be released on Friday, August 17, 2012. Changes to mailing list guidelines will occur shortly thereafter. To provide background info on the survey questions, the feedback you have sent either privately or to the whole list over the past few days has been summarized below under policy implications. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks, Yosem List Moderator SURVEY: Would you like to make the Liberationtech archives public or private? Public Private Should reply-to's be sent to the entire list or the individual sender? Entire List Individual Sender Should we reduce or eliminate the list-email signature text? Keep text signature as is Add -- prior to text signature to enable auto-hiding in most mailers Eliminate text signature completely POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Public or private: Public implies making the archives public both within mailman, and we would also allow automatic, real-time mirroring of the list. Easiest to do for simplicity and transparency's sake. Mailing list guidelines would also be amended to reflect the change. Private means that we would make the archives private and, if possible, add Internet standard email headers or robot exclusions to restrict or prohibit archiving. Mailing list guidelines would also be amended to reflect the change. Reply to entire list or individual sender: Advantage of replying to individual sender includes preventing personal replies from being inadvertently sent to the entire list. Advantages of replying to entire list include: Preventing people who forward emails from the list from unnecessarily exposing subscribers' email addresses Preventing list server from having to filter email to subscribers who are in To: or Cc: (if anything goes wrong, they get an email twice) Reducing both the strain on the server and the risk of triggering spam filters Signature Signature currently includes instructions on how to change subscription options (an issue that constantly recurs on the list) and our Twitter address.
