    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;The Centre for Internet and Society cordially invites you to a Crypto Party at Asian College of Journalism Second main Road (Behind M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation) Taramani in Chennai on August 7, 2013, 4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.&lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;"Governments around the world, are greatly increasing their surveillance of the Internet. Alongside a loss of the private sphere, this also represents a clear danger to basic civil liberties. The good news is that we already have the solution: encrypting communications makes it very hard, if not entirely impossible, for others to eavesdrop on our conversations. The bad news is that crypto is largely ignored by the general public, partly because they don't know about it, and partly because even if they do, it seems too much trouble to implement." (&lt;a href="https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121009/06132920660/cryptoparty-like-its-1993.shtml"&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="yes we scan and obama with headphones" height="167" src="https://netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/1012366_534624166585046_1146520866_n.png" width="450" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;So lets go and have a party, and teach each other how to crypto!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everyone is invited! Especially do not hesitate to join if you are not using any crypto at all (yet!)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://cis-india.org/internet-governance/cryptoparty-chennai-1/at_download/file"&gt;Here is a Flyer / Printout for you&lt;/a&gt; to spread the message!&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Multistakeholder Consultation on Encryption</title>
    <link>https://cis-india.org/internet-governance/events/multistakeholder-consultation-on-encryption</link>
    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;The Centre for Internet &amp; Society (CIS) in collaboration with ORF and Takshashila Institution is organizing a Multi-Stakeholder Consultation on Encryption on December 17, 2016 at TERI in Bengaluru. &lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;The consultation is intended to help shape the discussions around the new draft encryption policy slated to be released sometime early next year. The consultation will be divided into two segments: an open house and a panel discussion with high-level government representatives, including Dr. Gulshan Rai, the National Cyber Security Coordinator. The sessions start at 10.30 a.m. on December 17, 2016 and will go on for until approximately 4.30 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;The discussions themselves will highlight inputs from the three main constituents affected by an encryption policy: civil society and end users, the private sector and government. The range of civil liberties and constitutional rights implicated by encryption, as well as the needs of businesses to secure data flows will be discussed. Government officials too are expected to join the consultation and will provide perspectives on encryption and legitimate access to data for law enforcement purpose.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Digital Disruption or Digital Black Money?</title>
    <link>https://cis-india.org/internet-governance/events/digital-disruption-or-digital-black-money</link>
    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;Dr. Anupam Saraph, Professor and Future Designer will give a talk on digital disruption and digital black money on January 30, 2017 at the Centre for Internet &amp; Society (CIS) office in Bangalore.&lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;The digital disruption of payments in the economy is  regarded as a magic wand to cure financial exclusion, reduce costs of  cash, and end money laundering and black money. At the centre of the  digital revolution are new mechanisms to on-board customers, undertake  money transfers, alteration of players in the payment ecosystem and a  significant change in regulatory oversight. Does this alteration of the  financial ecosystem result in serving the unserved and underserved? Does  going cashless and holding digital cash end black money, money  laundering, and financial exclusion?  Or is this actually generating &lt;i&gt;digital&lt;/i&gt; black money through digital money laundering and actually causing  financial exclusion? Is digital black money even possible? Does the  digital money have no colour?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;img src="https://cis-india.org/home-images/Anupam.png/@@images/8c42ff3c-80fb-470d-b3ee-92dd7817f952.png" alt="Dr. Anupam Saraph" class="image-inline" title="Dr. Anupam Saraph" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Autonomy, Access, Infrastructure and Future — A Discussion with C S Lakshmi on the SPARROW Archive</title>
    <link>https://cis-india.org/openness/autonomy-access-infrastructure-future-a-discussion-with-cs-lakshmi-on-sparrow-archive</link>
    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;What does it take to build an archive? Why build archives in the first place? What kind of challenges do archives created through independent initiatives face in terms of infrastructure, autonomy, access and futures? On Thursday,  November 29, 2012, the Centre for Internet and Society and HasGeek present a Q&amp;A session with Dr. C S Lakshmi, founder of SPARROW in Mumbai. &lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Set up in 1988 as a trust, SPARROW is a repository of narratives, diaries and documentation of women's stories, struggles, movements and trajectories. This session is an attempt to understand the process of building archives and who has access to these archives. How is sensitive information — gender, in this case — interpreted and reproduced from SPARROW archives? What kind of challenges does SPARROW face in terms of infrastructure and sustenance?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C. S. Lakshmi&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C. S. Lakshmi (Ambai)&lt;/strong&gt;, born in 1944 in Tamil Nadu, is a distinguished fiction writer in Tamil. Her works are characterized by her passionate espousal of the cause of women, humor, a lucid and profound style, and a touch of realism. She is one of the most important Tamil writers today. She is the only Tamil writer to have been included in the recently published &lt;em&gt;Picador Book of Modern Indian Literature&lt;/em&gt; edited by Amit Chaudhuri. Most of her stories are about relationships and they contain brilliant observations about contemporary life. Exploration of space, silence, coming to terms with one's body or sexuality, and the importance of communication are some of the recurring themes in her works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A Doctorate from Jawaharlal Nehru University in the 1970's, she is presently the Director of Sound &amp;amp; Picture Archives for Research on Women (SPARROW) in Mumbai. She is a recipient of Narayanaswamy Aiyar Prize for her fiction. Among her works are &lt;em&gt;Sirakukal muriyum&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Vittin mulaiyil oru camaiyalarai&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Face behind the mask : Women in Tamil literature&lt;/em&gt;. Many of her stories have been translated into English. The Library of Congress holds five of her writings in its collection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This discussion is hosted as part of the Online Open Access Debates week, and HasGeek's IDRC project on "Examination of Open Data Initiatives in India"&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Indian Women in Science Wiki edit-a-thon</title>
    <link>https://cis-india.org/openness/events/india-women-in-science-wiki-edit-a-thon</link>
    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;A Wikipedia edit-a-thon is being held at the Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on October 11, 2014 from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. The event is being organized by IndiaBioScience in collaboration with the Centre for Internet and Society's Access to Knowledge team. &lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;CIS-A2K will conduct the first three edit-a-thons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In India, Science as a discipline is subject to many of the same gender  issues as it is worldwide - women scientists are fewer in number than  men, they occupy fewer positions of power, and face distinct issues by  virtue of their gender and the accompanying societal pressures. Women  Scientists in India also tend to be less visible than their male  counterparts, and public awareness of Indian Women Scientists is low.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;IndiaBioScience will be organising a series of public events to raise  the profile of women scientists on one of the most-popular online  encyclopaedias - Wikipedia. At these events, participants will be  encouraged to create and complete profiles of Indian Women in Science.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;To participate sign up below or click here (&lt;a class="free external" href="http://www.indiabioscience.org/content/women-science-wiki-edit-thon" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.indiabioscience.org/content/women-science-wiki-edit-thon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Contact the IndiaBioScience Team for more details: www.indiabioscience.org &amp;amp; team@indiabioscience.org&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;At the venue, the events will begin with a short, hands-on introduction  to Wiki editing. Participants can then go on to pick the scientist they  would like to work on. There will be an interaction session with a guest  Woman Scientist around lunch, with a discussion of issues commonly  faced by women in science. In the afternoon session, participants can  continue working on the Wiki pages, with a break for tea. Participants  are requested to bring their laptops. We have a few desktops available  at Saturday's venue for those who cannot do so.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;

    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;Rootconf organised a discussion on open standards at CIS Bangalore office. Zainab Bawa, Karan Saini and Anwesha Das coordinated and organised the event.&lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;The discussions created awareness on:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Consequences of building your applications around non-open standards.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Risks associated with non-open standards.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How to build your applications around open standards.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open standards are important for:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Business&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Application development&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Communications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open internet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;The event kicked off with Bernd Erk talking about how the convenience of availing services from a few 'cloud' providers is killing open standards in the space. &lt;/span&gt;Jiten Vaidya then discussed his experience running a successful open source product and business, and the future of open standards in the space. Kiran Jonnalagadda and Gurshabad Grover contributed to and moderated the subsequent discussion.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;Preetam Rai who works with nonprofits, startups and educational institutions will do a small presentation cum discussion at the Centre for Internet &amp; Society, Bangalore on December 18, 2012, from 5.00 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.&lt;/b&gt;
        
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In  2012, Myanmar hosted one of the largest open technology event with over  5000 attendees joining the Barcamp Yangon. Every month, Cambodian youth  put together dozens of self-initiated peer learning events and actively  use social networks to recruit participants. Thais are creating physical  spaces where social entrepreneurs and developers collaborate with each  other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Join  us to explore these trends and how they are helping change South East  Asia. Learn how the technology enthusiasts are ignoring past national  antagonism and traveling across borders to connect with peers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We  will introduce you to events and spaces(coworking spaces, hackerspaces)  that you can join in to explore this activity first hand when you are  traveling through the region.&lt;/p&gt;

    <description>
        &lt;b&gt;The Access to Knowledge team at the Centre for Internet &amp; Society is organising a workshop at BITS Pilani KK Birla Goa Campus on March 7, 2013, from 5.30 p.m. to 8.00 p.m.&lt;/b&gt;
        &lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;The workshop aims to spread awareness about Wikipedia, who edits Wikipedia and how to edit Wikipedia. Some of you might be curious to learn more about Wikipedia and contribute to this pool of knowledge in your own special ways. We'd like to encourage such students and provide them all the  information and support they need. Several colleges and universities  across the world have already successfully participated in similar  Wikipedia workshops.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Below are some more details about the Wikipedia session:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Understand what is Wikipedia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Explore how Wikipedia works&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn how they can contribute (i.e., writing) to Wikipedia&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Discover what they (students / faculty / institutes) can gain by editing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Logistics:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
