How to follow CFP 2009 online
*****

This year CFP will feature live video streaming and a Twitter  
backchannel. Along with this blog, the CFP Wetpaint Wiki, and Ask your  
lawmaker about computers, freedom, and privacy,* we hope this marks a  
significant step to increasing the visibility of privacy and onine  
civil liberties issues — during the conference, and throughout the  
rest of the year too.

The best ways to follow what’s happening:

   * The official CFP site at http://cfp2009.org, including the online  
schedule for streamed video  http://www.cfp2009.org/wiki/index.php/Online_schedule
   * and the CFP 2009 blog
   * The CFP Wetpaint Wiki
   * On Twitter, where http://twitter.com/cfp2009 has the latest  
updates and information, and the #cfp09 hashtag has discussions

And please, don’t just follow along — get involved! Join in the  
conversations on the blog and on Twitter. When you see articles,  
videos, blog posts, and discussions about CFP-related issues, tweet  
them and include the #cfp09 hashtag. And stay tuned for more about Ask  
your lawmaker about computers, freedom, and privacy, a joint project  
with Capitol News Connection, focused on getting answers and coverage  
on key legislative issues.

During the conference, one of our major goals is broaden participation  
in CFP. While there’s no substitute for being there in person, we want  
to make it so that that people who aren’t able to attend get to see  
what’s going on and be part of a lot of the discussions. Another goal  
is to increase coverage of the conference and computers, freedom, and  
privacy issues online from last year’s baseline — CFP’s got a  
reputation as “the best conference you’ve never heard of” and it’s  
time to start changing that.

After the conference wraps up on June 4, we hope that the blog, wiki,  
and twitter hashtags are interesting enough that people keep coming  
back afterwards. If the CFP blog can reflect the conference — high- 
quality discussions of the broad array of “CFP issues” from policy,  
technical, legal, international, and advocacy perspectives across the  
spectrum — it’ll fill a huge gap in the blogosphere. The wiki can be a  
place for resources for people and organizations wanting information  
about privacy and online civil liberties; and Twitter can be a way to  
reach out to communities that historically haven’t been involved with  
CFP.

It won’t all happen over night, of course … but the more people who  
participate, the more quickly we’ll get there. So please, check it out  
… and get involved!

Jon, Katitza
