Welcome to the Internet Freedom Festival (IFF) wiki! The IFF is an initiative that brings together the various communities throughout the world fighting online surveillance and censorship to collaborate, share knowledge, and foment solidarity.
Services for the Community
Throughout the year we provide various community services, culminating in a week-long unconference in Valencia Spain. The event itself brings together over 1,000 activists, journalists, technologists, and human rights defenders fighting surveillance and censorship. The IFF is made by the community, for the community making it one of the largest, most diverse and inclusive unconferences in the Internet freedom community.
There are also virtual spaces where you can connect with others throughout the year including,
- The IFF Weekly Newsletter
The newsletter provides weekly updates on community news such as events, jobs, research, projects, and regional developments. If you have something you would like us to feature in the newsletter, please reach out to us at team@internetfreedomfestival.org
- Weekly Glitter Meetup on Mattermost
The weekly Glitter Meetup is hosted on the IFF's Mattermost instance, a a collaboration hub and tool which works similar to Slack. Conducted in an "unconference" type format, the meetup provides individuals the opportunity to interact with other community members each week to get feedback and/or advice, get project updates, and meet people from around the world working on Internet Freedom. In addition, each week we feature a community member that can answer questions relating to their specific expertise, whether it be digital security, organizational security, regional contexts and updates, community health, and more.
The Glitter Meetup happens every week on Thursdays at 10am EDT on the IFF Square channel. If you would like an invitation to our Mattermost instance, please email us at team@internetfreedomfestival.org If you already have an account, sign in here.
Please note: As a service to the community, your project, campaign or network can request to create a private channel on the IFF Mattermost instance. All data is stored securely on our servers maintained by a trusted hosting provider in the Internet freedom community that cares about your security and safety.
