   As a member of Wikimedia UK I must say that this looks not only appealing, but totally necessary; we are a part of this fight, otherwise Wikipedia becomes the unfree voice of a totalitarian machine of men in grey grey suits. 
   
  
    
   
  
   Wish I was nearer London, yet it's good to be on the fringe.

 "The 2014 Logan Symposium brings together key figures in the fight against invasive surveillance and secrecy.

Organized by the Centre for Investigative Journalism and generously funded by The Reva and David Logan Foundation, this year’s inaugural event features leading journalists and hacktivists. They form a natural alliance committed to a world free of authoritarian invasions of individual privacy and free speech.

Seeking common ground, journalists offer hacktivists a social and political context, as well as expertise in evidence-based storytelling. Hacktivists, expert in accessing, exposing and protecting critical evidence-based material, bring their own set of formidable skills.

Joined by artists, lawyers, and whistleblowers, these communities will offer each other, and the general public, charged, highly informed debate. Now that the Snowden disclosures have sunk in, it’s time for uncensored talk about the chilling Big Brother world in which we live."

[Wikimediauk-l] Logan Symposium
