"Free software groups hopeful for new Commission"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Nov. 4, 2014

Nov. 4, 2014

*Free software groups hopeful for new Commission** * Submitted by Gijs Hillenius on November 04, 2014 Free software advocacy groups are hopeful that the incoming European Commission will advance the use and development of this type of software solution in public administration. April, France's free software advocacy group, expects EU Commissioner for the Digital Single Market, Andrus Ansip to favour the increase of free and open source software. Reporting on the meeting of the new Vice-President for the Digital Single Market with the European Parliament on 6 October, the group notes how as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrus_Ansip Prime Minister of Estonia, he had ensured all software financed by European funds was made publicly available.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [governance] Two IETF Internet-Drafts about human rights and censorship Resent-Date: Tue, 04 Nov 2014 14:49:07 +0100 Resent-From: d004620(a)polito.it Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2014 14:47:59 +0100 From: Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer(a)internatif.org> Reply-To: governance(a)lists.igcaucus.org, Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer(a)internatif.org> To: governance(a)lists.igcaucus.org Next week is the 91th IETF meeting and, at the security meeting, these two new Internet-Drafts will be discussed: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-doria-hrpc-proposal Work has been done on privacy issues that should be considered when creating an Internet protocol [see the excellent RFC 6973, or working groups like DPRIVE, for DNS privacy. S.B.]. This draft suggests that similar considerations may apply for other human rights such as freedom of expression or freedom of association. A proposal is made for initiating IRTF [Internet Research Task Force] work researching the possible connections between human rights and Internet standards and protocols. The goal would be to create an informational RFC concerning human rights protocol considerations. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hall-censorship-tech This document describes the technical mechanisms used by censorship regimes around the world to block or degrade internet traffic. It aims to make designers, implementers, and users of Internet protocols aware of the properties being exploited and mechanisms used to censor end-user access to information. This document makes no suggestions on individual protocol considerations, and is purely informational, intended to be a reference.

Berkman Center Webcast live oggi ore 18 - Privacy, Surveillance, and Rebuilding Trust in Tech

Privacy, Surveillance, and Rebuilding Trust in Tech http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/11/Smith <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/06/sigal> <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/06/sigal> *A Conversation with Microsoft GC Brad Smith and Professor Jonathan Zittrain* Today, 6.00 pm Webcast live: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/interactive/webcast http://nexa.polito.it/berkman-webcast-live One of the enduring issues in cyberspace is which laws apply to online activities. We see this most clearly today in the reaction to revelations about government surveillance: on one hand, individuals are increasingly seeking assurances that their content is protected from government overreach, while governments want to ensure they have access to information to enforce their laws, even if that content is stored outside their borders. We see this same tension in debates over privacy protection for data placed on line by consumers. This discussion will explore the role of law in protecting our rights in the physical world online, the complementary roles of law and technology in achieving this protection, and the need for governments to come together so that companies (and customers) don't face conflicting legal obligations. About Brad Brad Smith is Microsoft's general counsel and executive vice president of Legal and Corporate Affairs. He leads approximately 1,100 legal, business and corporate affairs professionals spanning 55 countries and is responsible for the company's legal work, its intellectual property portfolio, patent licensing business, and the company's government affairs, public policy, corporate citizenship and philanthropic work. He also serves as Microsoft's corporate secretary and its chief compliance officer. Brad joined Microsoft in 1993, and before becoming general counsel in 2002 he spent three years leading the LCA team in Europe, then five years serving as the deputy general counsel responsible for LCA's teams outside the United States. About Jonathan Jonathan Zittrain is the George Bemis Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Professor of Computer Science at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vice Dean for Library and Information Resources at the Harvard Law School Library, and co-founder of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. His research interests include battles for control of digital property and content, cryptography, electronic privacy, the roles of intermediaries within Internet architecture, human computing, and the useful and unobtrusive deployment of technology in education. He performed the first large-scale tests of Internet filtering in China and Saudi Arabia, and as part of the OpenNet Initiative co-edited a series of studies of Internet filtering by national governments: /Access Denied: The Practice and Policy of Global Internet Filtering/; /Access Controlled: The Shaping of Power, Rights, and Rule in Cyberspace/; and /Access Contested: Security, Identity, and Resistance in Asian Cyberspace/. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Board of Advisors for /Scientific American/. He has served as a Trustee of the Internet Society and as a Forum Fellow of the World Economic Forum, which named him a Young Global Leader. He was a Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence at the Federal Communications Commission, and previously chaired the FCC's Open Internet Advisory Committee. His book /The Future of the Internet -- And How to Stop It/ predicted the end of general purpose client computing and the corresponding rise of new gatekeepers.

Open data: quali diritti sui dati? - webinar gratuito domani
by Simone Aliprandi Nov. 3, 2014

Nov. 3, 2014

Domani (mercoledì 29 ottobre) dalle 12:00 alle 13:00 un terrò un webinar per il portale e-learning della Regione Lombardia. E' il primo di un ciclo di tre appuntamenti in cui spiegherò i fondamenti giuridici del fenomeno open data. In questo primo incontro (intitolato appunto "Open data: Quali diritti sui dati?") inizieremo a porre le basi concettuali e terminologiche per la corretta comprensione del fenomeno open data e per il corretto inquadramento giuridico delle varie fattispecie in cui esso si realizza, cercando di mettere a fuoco se e in quali termini vi è una tutela sui dati. Fonte principale dei contenuti del seminario sarà il mio libro “Il fenomeno open data. Indicazioni e norme per un mondo di dati aperti” (disponibile online su www.aliprandi.org/fenomeno-opendata) La partecipazione al webinar è gratuita previa registrazione e seguendo poi le istruzioni per l’installazione dell’apposito software. La piattaforma utilizzata permetterà una reale e diretta interazione con tra partecipanti e docente. Tutti i dettagli qui: http://aliprandi.blogspot.it/2014/10/quali-diritti-dati-webinar-lombardia.h…. Spero di vedervi domani online. Un cordiale saluto. -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org | http://www.array.eu

gara consip-agid
by meo Nov. 3, 2014

Nov. 3, 2014

Caro Stefano, grazie alle tue indicazioni, sono finalmente riuscito a leggere le specifiche della gara da 1,95 miliardi di euro. Sono rimasto sconvolto. Non voglio pensare che avesse ragione la Gabanelli quando su Report avanzò pesanti sospetti sull'onestà degli uomini di Consip. Anche perchè, se lo scopo della gara fosse regalare due miliardi ai soliti noti, le specifiche di gara sarebbero state scritte in modo diverso. Ma mi permetto di avanzare un mio sospetto: chi ha scritto quelle specifiche non sapeva di cosa stesse scrivendo. Infatti, le specifiche di quella gara non riguardano lo sviluppo del software applicativo, che è l'obiettivo centrale dell'Agenda Digitale, ma hanno per oggetto quasi esclusivo il software di base per la generazione della nuvola o cloud. Oggi sono già disponibili soluzioni commerciali per la costruzione di una nuvola (alcune delle quali sono proposte al mercato da partecipanti alla gara). Inoltre esistono fantastici prodotti di software libero, assolutamente gratuiti, per fare una nuvola. Cito, ad esempio, "OpenNebula", frutto del progetto comunitario Reservoir; la nuvola "realtime" nata dal progetto comunitario IRMOS; "OpenStack" di Rackspace Hosting e NASA; ed altei ancora. Invierò alla Presidente di AGID e a te, come Presidente del Comitato di Indirizzo, una lettera formale in cui vi chiederò di bloccare quella gara per evitare di buttare due miliardi dalla finestra. Al linmite, se la gara non potesse essere bloccata per ragioni giuridiche, potreste inventarvi una soluzione per concordare con le aziende selezionate una trasformazione dei contenuti di software di base verso contenuti di software applicativo. Spero sinceramente nella tua opera. Raf
