Cascadia Anarchist Tech Skillshare
CATS 4 -- Nov 5th-7th, Seattle.

____________________________________________
What?

Now in its second year, CATS is a quarterly gathering of northwest 
anarchist and anarchist-inspired tech activists, geeks, sysadmins, 
programmers (and those who want to learn) to share their skills, learn 
from others, socialize, and make revolution. CATS rotates between 
Vancouver (BC), Portland, and Seattle. This particular CATS is also 
drawing activists from Chicago, the Bay Area, and Spain.

____________________________________________
Where?

We'll be holding forth primarily in the spacious daylight basement of 
Mitchell's new house (Soggy Bottom). Couches, wireless, a digital 
projector, most meals, and power will be provided. Bringing extra 
hardware, cables, extension cords, laptops, large notepads, is always 
encouraged. For directions, contact cats at riseup.net<mailto:cats at riseup.net>

____________________________________________
Housing

As usual, people from out of town are encouraged to bring sleeping 
supplies (bags, mats, blankets) as possible. Please contact 
cats at riseup.net<mailto:cats at riseup.net> if you would like a bed. Otherwise, you can assume you 
will probably get some comfy floor space or couch.

____________________________________________
Agenda

We've found that spending just a little time thinking about what you 
want to get out of the weekend before showing up makes it an immensely 
more successful weekend. Some things to think about are:

   1.  What do I want to learn?
   2.  What can I teach?

Currently, these sessions are proposed:

- Voice over IP (VoIP) for the revolution.
- Gender Changer Academy: women identified only safe space
    for learning linux skills (Sunday morning).
- Security for activists, with break outs for all skill levels.
- Northwest collaboration.
- Sympa mailing list manager.
- Spam filtering skill share & postfix recipe swap.
- How to make a wireless uplink show and tell.
- backupninja show and tell.
- debian tricks show and tell.
- security for the paranoid sysadmin: encrypted fs, logs,
    ramfs, grsecurity, ip-clean postfix patch.
- sympa mailing list manager.
- activista.org: the activist search engine.
- debian packaging tutorial.
