pgptools
We are happy to announce that the OpenITP Circumvention Tech Festival will take place on March 1-6, in Valencia, Spain.

This festival is a collaboration that will consist of a week-long series of conferences, workshops, hackathons, and social gatherings, bringing together the organizations and individuals that work on or with anti-surveillance and anti-censorship technology tools.

CTFestival will cross-pollinate information across disciplines, while providing individuals with opportunities to collaborate with those who focus on specific regions or facets of the field. In addition, we will be conducting an event series serving the Spanish-speaking circumvention tech community.
