PLACE: LinuxCabal Headquarters (San Francisco)
"HavenCo: Data Fortress on the Edge"
--Live Conference from Sealand
"Microsoft: Hercules vs Hydra"
--Anti-Monopoly Discussion
The June 2000 Physical Meeting of the San Francisco Bay Area Cypherpunks
will be held at the headquarters of the LinuxCabal and feature a
discussion about HavenCo. The HavenCo group contends that it's not just
'neener-neenering the NSA' or playing at 'starting your own country:'
it's doing serious eBusiness mixed with human privacy rights, and it's
engaged in a philosophical, political and moral battle for individual
freedom. The question is not whether HavenCo is a good idea or a model of
future data freedom (it's both), but whether they can survive in an
unfriendly environment full of many kinds of threats. Against the backdrop
of the HavenCo drama, we'll also spend a few minutes raking Microsoft over
the coals and discuss some topics of general interest.

agenda (subject to change) will include: an "informal Q&A" with Zero
Knowledge Systems' Chief Software Officer Mike Shaver; a session on
