Live Video Streams

All of you who can't afford the time or money to visit this year's FSCONS will be pleased to know that you can follow the lectures from home. With help from the GISS team, particularly streaming gurus Yves Degoyon and Valentina Messeri, we'll be able to show live video streams from most of the lectures.

Certificate assurance session for cacert.org certificates on FSCONS 2008

During the Friday night's social event of fscons.org, a certificate assurance session for cacert.org certificates will be held.
Please register an account before the session, if possible, at cacert.org so that you can print out and bring a prefilled CAP form. This will make the assurance process a lot smoother. Remember to bring a valid passport and/or a valid national identification card. Without any of the required tokens you cannot be assured.
Of course we can sign eachother's GnuPG keys during the session too.

Speech of the Day: VODO

One of the many talks we are looking forward to at FSCONS is Jamie King's presentation of the VODO project. VODO stands for VOluntary DOnations and is a technology that will make it easier to get monetary funding for Free Culture works when distributed through p2p services. Jamie was one of the main creators of Steal This Film, which was very successful in receiving donations, and in turn enabled them to make Steal This Film 2 even better.
