We are Stanford Liberationtech. We are housed in the Freeman Spogli Institute in the Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, and our goal is to design technologies that offer cybersecurity and privacy to people so that they may foster democracy, development, freedom, and other public goods.

Our Liberationtech blog has been dead for a while, but we are working on reviving it. If you are interested in helping out, please let us know.
We also have a series of mailing lists on topics related to Liberationtech. The most important lists are the following:
- Events: https://mailman.stanfo
rd.edu/mailman/listinfo/libera tiontech-events - Jobs: https://mailman.stanford
.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberati ontech-jobs - CfP: https://mailman.stanford.
edu/mailman/listinfo/liberatio ntech-cfp
For the aforementioned lists, we try to compile a list of all events, job opportunities, and call for papers related to Liberationtech from all over the world.
It's not a comprehensive list, so your assistance would be helpful. If you hear of a job, event, or cfp that would be of benefit to Liberationtech subscribers, please let us know.
Finally, we want to take Liberationtech to the next level. What that means, we don't know. But the world has changed a lot since we started back in 2008: Censorship is on the rise. Internet freedom is on the decline. And we have become much more of a community of hackers and cybersecurity professionals who seek to protect vulnerable communities around the world.
So if you have ideas of projects you would like to see us take on, please let us know. We want the Liberationtech community to drive the process. Any idea is welcome. Dream big or small. Just let us know how you think we can best help.
Thanks,
Yosem
