-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [liberationtech] Funding for the tech response in Bahrain, Libya etc Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2011 18:35:47 -0500 Hey there, We are in contact with some non-government funding bodies that would be interested in immediately funding technology and communications initiatives to assist the popular wave of protests respond to the ensuing violent crackdown in Bahrain, Libya etc. Without going into details, there is a considerable amount of funds to disperse - which can be done now and with limited amounts of paperwork - including towards human, hardware or software solutions. Circumvention, digital security, citizen media, and internet shutdown response are some of the areas to put forward. Local initiatives, international interventions, (secure) innovative ideas and proven concepts will be considered. Email me separately or post worthwhile ideas on this thread.
