Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of culture, technology, politics, and law. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.
Some politechnicals are wondering what's going on with CFP, which is being held in Boston -- the epicenter of the big nor'easter storm. Estimates for total snowfall range between one and three feet, with winds of above 50 mph. If you're not familiar with the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference, check out cfp2001.org or: http://www.politechbot.com/cgi-bin/politech.cgi?name=cfp I'm typing this from the conference hotel. The event is scheduled to begin Tuesday, though regulars frequently come early. I've spotted only a very few people so far, and the hotel desk clerk reports many cancellations. Unfortunately, the only bar in the hotel and all but one restaurant are closed for repairs so there's no useful congregation area to estimate attendance. Contrary to what the web site says, tutorials for Tuesday are cancelled and rescheduled for Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Some informal "roundtables" will be held Wednesday instead. Boston Logan airport is likely to have snow delays through Wednesday. But the conference, at least for the folks and speakers who make it here, is still on. -Declan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if it remains intact.
