- Subject: [projectvrm] VRM/PCloud Data Privacy Hackathon Announcement
- Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:51:19 -0600
Hi All, I wanted to forward this note from Mark Lizar about the Hackathon we are putting together (Mark in London, me in Bay Area -- and we've partners with the NY Personal Data Hackathon.. so we are in three locations). Anyway.. this is an important VRM project (Open Notice) and the event in an important VRM and Personal Cloud focused event. Scroll down for event details. Thank you! mary As people may or may not be aware the newly named Consent and Information Sharing Working Group (CISWG) is a VRM initiated, Personal Cloud Orientated Work Group that has been working away over the last few years on personal information sharing. This effort first began gestating at Identity Commons when (VRM was still known as a “red dot”) and today this effort is very much aimed at bridging communities with tools that can really make a difference in this space. The CISWG and Open Notice Initiative are co-hosting two of the hackathon locations with Phil Weiss from the New York Legal Hackers and Mary from Customer Commons. The aim of this announcement is to fire up a call to action to legally hack data privacy. We all know it's past time to collaborate and start doing something about the state of privacy and personal data, including the notice and consent work we propose. As apart of this project the CISWG is sponsoring a pre-hackathon project to create a Legal Map for hackers to use at the event. We are also working to propose a project based on a CISWG use case called the Consent Receipt Scenario. The intention is to hack Open Notice with a Common Legal Map to create consent receipts that efforts on this list can use to enable ‘customisers' to control personal information. If you would like to get involved in the hackathon, show your support, or help build the consent receipt infrastructure please get involved right away -- you can email me, or Mary Hodder, or join the group pages that are in links above. We are sending this to the VRM and Personal Cloud Lists first and will broaden the invitations later today. Below is more information about the Hackathons, which will go out far and wide in the next 24 hours. Best Regards, Mark Lizar ********************************** Data Privacy Legal Hack-A-thon This is an unprecedented year documenting our loss of Privacy. Never before have we needed to stand up and team up to do something about it. In honour of Privacy Day, the Legal Hackers are leading the charge to do something about it, inspiring a two-day international Data Privacy Legal Hackathon. This is no ordinary event. Instead of talking about creating privacy tools in theory, the Data Privacy Legal Hackathon is about action! A call to action for tech & legal innovators who want to make a difference! Across three locations on February 8th & 9th, 2014  This two-day event aims to mix the tech and legal scenes with people and companies that want to champion personal data privacy. Connecting entrepreneurs, developers, product makers, legal scholars, lawyers, and investors. Each location will host a two-day “judged” hacking competition with a prize awarding finale, followed by an after-party to celebrate the event. The Main Themes to The Hackathon Are:
There are pre-hackathon projects and activities
Sponsorship Is Available & Needed Any organization or company seeking to show active support for data privacy and privacy technologies is invited to get involved.
