OONI at the Internet Freedom Festival & RightsCon 2017

Over the last month the OONI team joined the internet freedom community at the following events:

• Vietnam Cyber Dialogue (VCD)

• Internet Freedom Festival (IFF)

• Iran Cyber Dialogue (ICD)

• RightsCon 2017

• International Journalism Festival (IJF)

These events provided us with the opportunity to engage with community members, create new friendships, learn about new projects, and to share skills and knowledge. We also had the opportunity to facilitate sessions that allowed us to collect feedback for the improvement of our software and research methodologies.

Below we list the sessions that we (co-) facilitated as part of these events.
