Virtual Connections

We have a self-hosted Mattermost instance, which is like Slack but better because its open source and more secure because its hosted by us through our amazing and privacy respecting provider Greenhost. :) The IFF Mattermost is a great place to connect to people virtually not just during the IFF, but throughout the year as well. Every Thursday, for example, we host a weekly IFF Glitter Meetup which allows you to connect and share with others on a weekly basis. Learn more. .

Please Take Notes!

Taking notes is a great way to give back to all of those who couldn’t make it to the IFF. This year taking collaborative notes is easier than ever. Each session page in the public schedule includes unique Etherpad URL for note taking. For example: https://platform.internetfreedomfestival.org/en/IFF2018/public/schedule/custom/195
