Hi,

I have often thought of attending this GNU Linux event but an unease
holds me back. What doesn't help and I would love clarifying is like
what you quoted in your message - what is?:

"development of security resources for activists"

I maybe paranoid here, but the above can be taken quite a number of ways
and seeing from the common place web site; and some of the groups that
use the location naturally can breed concern in some about what they
could be helping others accomplish.

Regards

Phil
