2016’s

1. Berlin Logan CIJournalism Symposium 2016: Future of OS - with Joanna Rutkowska (Qubes), David Mirza Ahmad (Subgraph), Tails, and Jakob Appelbaum as moderator

   “In an era of mass surveillance the need for independent, reliable and usable Operating Systems is fundamental. In previous times, political movements needed their own printing press for circumventing propaganda and repression. In the digital age we need independent Operating Systems to protect our freedom of speech and freedom of action. The creation of independent OS is both a technological challenge and a social, political and economic challenge. To protect and encrypt yet offer transparency of control, and make it easy to use for all of us, is a great challenge. Trusting hardware, software and organisational structure is an issue from building all the way to using the OS.”

2. Berlin Logan CIJournalism Symposium 2016: Fighting the Global Arena with David Mirza Ahmad, Alison Macrina and Julian Assange, Jérémie Zimmermann as moderator

   “From journalists to techies, from artists to activists, from experts to entertainers; everybody is needed to fight for the right to privacy, transparency and revolution. Our special guests will present a spectrum of spectacular actions.
   More than five years ago Julian Assange built a sophisticated submission system that both promised and delivered security for whistleblowers around the world. It has led to a virtual explosion of publicly accessible information that governments and corporations have desperately tried to conceal. Disclosures of corruption, mass murder and illegal governmental activities on a huge scale are now irretrievably in the public domain.
   The battle began with WikiLeaks and expanded dramatically with the Snowden revelations. Sadly, the universality of surveillance has meant that conventional computer systems are so compromised and vulnerable that radical new solutions are required.
   In defence of personal freedom and privacy, the Subgraph team has built a highly secure new operating system that will be launched at this session. This long awaited new OS will hopefully provide a framework of protection for the future.”

• Free Software Foundation article: “Active Management Technology”: The obscure remote control in some Intel hardware

  “In principle there is no problem with the concept of AMT, as long as the owner of the machine controls the remote access to it. Unfortunately, that is not the case with AMT, because it is entirely proprietary and its specs are secret.
  [..] When you buy new hardware, don’t buy Intel hardware that has AMT. AMD chipsets do not contain anything like AMT. Note, however, that there are other comparable problems in hardware from both Intel and AMD.”

• Tom’s Hardware article: Intel vPro: Three Generations Of Remote Management

  “…there’s really no way to set up a story like this one using AMD-based hardware. An enthusiast or system builder interested in remote management really only has one game in town…”
