[Corrected webcast url !]

The Internet Society is dedicated to preserving an Open Internet where
all users can communicate freely with each other. Increasingly
mechanisms are appearing that might, for whatever reason, inhibit such
activity, especially when such communications go through central
servers. Our ISOC-NY event this week will introduce a viable
alternative.

On Thurs. Mar 25 ISOC-NY will host Prof. Jinyang Li in a talk about
the use of distributed systems, and particularly the use of the
Kaleidoscope Firefox plug-in, in circumventing censorship. This is
part of her ongoing research into "exploiting the real world social
relationships among users to improve the security and reliability of
open distributed systems."

All are welcome to attend, it will be webcast live and questions may
be asked via the chatroom. There will be an .ogv archive.
