W3PN Privacy Corner
A community pop-up space as a safe autonomous zone dedicated to privacy and cypherpunk, suitable for complementing hackathons and other events. Privacy Corner is hosted and curated by Web3Privacy Now initiative.
The concept is based on creating an open, inclusive place for meeting and discussion, like the ancient Greek Agora, where anyone can come and raise any question or topic, or join the discussions. Through our Campfire sessions you can open discussions in a smaller circle (typically 15-20 people) on many topics that are not suitable for traditional "formal" talks, workshops or panel discussions.
Another feature is the Privacy Design Clinic, where through our mentors we offer help to hackers and teams to be more privacy-preserving.
Principles
- autonomous - limited control of the main organisers
- community-based - everyone can propose a campfire
- no bullshit, marketing free
- no photos, filming or recording!
Main components
Campfire Stage
Campfire session is one of those formats that perfectly describes what it does and what it looks like. Much like people sitting around a campfire listening to someone tell a story, a campfire session is an informal way of presenting and discussing topics with meeting attendees ("What Is a Campfire Setup & When Should You Use It? ").
Everyone is able to propose their own campfire session. The specific form of a campfire session is very flexible and depends on the proposer. Typical length of one campfire session is 30 - 60 minutes.
W3PN will run open submissions and they will curate the entire schedule to keep the content on topic and as non-commercial and community-based as possible.
Examples of campfire session
- open discussion around a specific topic
- an interview with a well-known/interesting person
- introducing an open privacy tool or protocol
- networking session for privacy-curious people
- HW showcase - BananaPhone, GrapheneOS etc. :)
- author's reading from the book
- musical or visual performance
Requirements
- microphone, speaker, TV with HDMI input
