-- Forwarded message -- From: Rohisha Adke ra...@stanford.edu Hi everyone, A friend and I are doing research on collaboration that happens (or doesn't happen) between researchers in social sciences/humanities and those who could apply the research through entrepreneurial ventures, especially those focused on social good. If* you are working on a project (especially technology-related) for social good*, please take the survey below. It takes *fewer than 2 minutes*! https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8pJ3IEfa3BIkZbT Thank you! Rohisha -- Too many emails?

[liberationtech] Fwd: USAID/Humanity United Tech Challenge for Atrocity Prevention
-- Forwarded message -- From: Mia Newman newman@gmail.com Date: Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 7:15 AM Subject: USAID/Humanity United Tech Challenge for Atrocity Prevention To: Sam King samk...@cs.stanford.edu Hi Sam, Not sure if you remember me, but we talked when I was president of Stanford STAND for the past few years, and I also remember seeing you around at LibTech seminars. I'm now working on a Gardner fellowship from the Haas Center for the year at a foundation called Humanity United, which works on anti-genocide and anti-human trafficking around the world. One of the projects I've been working on is called the Tech Challenge for Atrocity Prevention http://www.thetechchallenge.org. The Tech Challenge is a prize-based challenge that hopes to spark new interdisciplinary partnerships and new thinking on the application of technological solutions to daunting problems in conflict situations. It seems like something totally up your alley, especially because of your work with Code the Change. I really hope you're interested in participating, but even if not please feel free to forward widely - we're hoping to spread the word as much as possible, especially outside the traditional human rights community. To let you know where we are now: our second and final round formally launched in early March. Three challenges are now open, soliciting excellent proposals to compete for prizes of up to $10,000. The open challenges are: - The MODEL http://www.thetechchallenge.org/#!model Challenge: to model conflict situations to determine community-level risk of violence (TopCoder) - *Geared toward technical coders and data modelers interested in applying their skills to conflict datasets. The challenge is composed of two stages: first to discover data and then to model it. * - The COMMUNICATE http://www.thetechchallenge.org/#!communicateChallenge: to facilitate on-the-ground communication among communities affected by conflict (Innocentive) - *Ideal for a wide audience with varying backgrounds to apply their experience and creativity to overcome the challenge of secure two-way communication.* - The ALERT http://www.thetechchallenge.org/#!alert Challenge: to develop improved methods of gathering and verifying information from hard-to-access conflict areas (OpenIDEO) - *This platform was specifically selected to channel empathy, ideation, and analysis to help communities in conflict inform the wider world about their situation. With its multi-stage process, a new part of the challenge is opening every few weeks, and we encourage you to continue to revisit the site. * It would be great if you could pass along this email to anyone you think might be interested in participating! Feel free to contact me with questions or comments, and you can also check our FAQhttp://www.thetechchallenge.org/faqs/Tech_Challenge_for_Atrocity_Prevention_-_FAQ.pdffor more information. Thanks, and hope you're doing well! Mia -- Too many emails?

Was wondering if you could share our campaign with some of your lists. Thanks! Jeremy == CodeHS http://codehs.com/ is a site to teach computer science to high schoolers. We are launching a crowdfunding campaign called *CSinHS*http://csinhs.com/ with the large goal to bring computer science to every high school, and with the specific goal to teach 1,000 high school students to program in the next six months. Almost no high schools in the country offer CS, but computer science education is critical for the jobs of the future. Everyone gets stuck when learning to program, and the focus of CodeHS is providing help from real people along the way. If you believe CS should be in HS, then we need your help. There are lots of ways you can help - Contribute to the campaign at indiegogo.com/csinhs - Spread the word about the campaign here: www.csinhs.com - Record a video sharing why you should learn to code http://csinhs.com/record Contact us with any questions.

Re: [liberationtech] archives public
In general, I prefer it when the reply-to is as it is in this mailing list. When I want to reply to the sender, I hit reply, and when I want to reply to all, I hit reply all.

I am curious, but not interested enough to subscribe, confirm, archive the relevant notification messages, look at the archive, then unsubscribe, again archiving relevant message after confirming requests. So what I think I will do is use one of the throwaway address services, forgetting about it immediately after subscribing and retrieving a password, and you will get another address to waste mailer resources on and to skew statistics. I would also like to voice a few suggestions about this list: 1. The signature is ridiculously long. You can at least prefix it with -- to enable auto-hiding in most mailers when people don't have their own signature. 2. You should reject messages without one of the list addresses in To: or Cc: fields. It helps filtering and prevents email from people who put all their address book in Bcc:. 3.

Re: [liberationtech] Urgent question
This is a public email list, so everything on it is public in some way. Anyone in the world can sign up for the list, and any subscriber can view the list archives (ie, this thread is at https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/private/liberationtech/2012-June/004093.html). You can see the archives by choosing this list at mailman.stanford.edu and logging in. Or, people could use the link that you provided (which is indexed on Google, I think, based on a phrase search for one of the emails in that archive). Or, even if there weren't archives, since this is a public email list that anyone can sign up for, you should assume that whatever malicious user you are worried about has an account on the list and is getting every email that anyone sends to it and indexing it themselves. At that point, any privacy you're getting is just security through obscurity. Sam King Director | Code the Change http://codethechange.org - we have a Code Jam for social good coming up!

Re: [liberationtech] Outside of the list/listmembers is Libtech basically private, or basically public? WAS - Re: Urgent question
Regarding community standards, I think that it depends on context. For instance, when someone posts an event or a job listing to this list, I will often forward it on under the assumption that people want it to be public, but I typically don't forward on any discussions of security or particular countries or current events under the assumptions that the people involved would consider that private-ish. Greg does bring up a good point regarding community standards versus security, though. Sam King Director | Code the Change http://codethechange.org - we have a Code Jam for social good coming up!

[liberationtech] Three CS Social Change Events for the Quarter
1. This Saturday to Sunday is a Datathon for campaign finance. It's run by a Knight journalism fellow, and I have been helping with the logistics. It will have programmers, data scientists, and journalists there (plus prizes, food, etc). Details at http://www.computationalreporting.com/2012/04/22/556/. 2. Friday / Saturday June 8/9, ATT is putting on a hackathon for mobile apps in education. At this event, you can program normally, or you can work with kids who will be there programming also. Details are at http://mobileappaspire-eorg.eventbrite.com/. 3. Slightly after the quarter is over, there will be a journalism hackathon. Details aren't finalized yet, but email me if you're interested, and I'll keep you posted. Sam King Director | Code the Change http://codethechange.org - we have a Code Jam for social good coming up!
