[liberationtech] // NETworkshop: Zurich, Copenhagen, Brussels //

[Julian Oliver]

Hi list,

I thought our NETworkshop programme might be relevant to this list, in that it
egnages public directly with both the technical and techno-political realities
of computer networks. It's been very popular so far.

We will next teach the workshop intensive in Zurich (10hrs, with talks by
Bit-Toner and Assange), Copenhagen and Brussels (40hrs each) within the next
month. 

Here is a little about the workshop:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------>

"Ask anyone how the postal system works and they would give a vaguely correct
description. Few however would come close to describing how email, let alone a
computer network itself, actually functions. With this lack of knowledge comes a
risk; we lack the practical understanding to effectively read the
infrastructural and political implications of our increased dependency on this
technology.

In this intensive workshop Oliver and Vasiliev teach low level networking using
only command line tools and networking hardware. In doing so, students learn not
only how to create and manipulate computer networks, but also how they can be
used to manipulate us.

No prior knowledge of computer networking, programming or command line
interaction is required."

The Copenhagen event is at the ITU.dk and has no page as such.
