I spent the last 3 days at the 2004 Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference in Berkeley, and enjoyed it a lot. One of the highlights of the conference was getting to see in person so many people I admire, like Phil Zimmerman and John Gilmore, but whom I only know through reading about them. I also got to meet many of the people behind the group emails that I get as a member/subscriber of various organizations, such as the CDT, EPIC, EFF, and the ACLU, alerting me to issues and asking me for money or to take action. I took a fair number of photos at the conference and posted them tonight at 2004 Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference. Hopefully over the weekend I'll get a chance to write up my impressions of the conference.
