and media on issues of electronic democracy, freedom of speech in the

Infrastructure debate. Goals include airing important networking ideas,

against, draw attention to, and provide a voice to speak against govt.
encroachments on individual liberties in networking, especially from a

AUSTIN
* EFF-Austin
EFF-Austin was formed to protect constitutional guarantees of free
speech and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure for
users of computer networks. Experience has taught us that these
freedoms must be fought for if they are to survive in the online
world. EFF-Austin was created as an experimental local chapter of
the national EFF but became independent in 1993 while retaining
contacts with the parent organization. We're heavily involved
in public speaking, education, and advocacy of constitutional
rights in cyberspace. "We're Austin's forum for discussion of all
concerns related to the cutting edge where society meets technology."

HOUSTON
* Electronic Frontiers Houston (EFH)
a non-profit corporation devoted to working with and for the
Houston computer and telecommunications community. Working in
alliance with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, EFF-Austin and
other national and regional organizations, EFH acts as a focal
point for the diverse set of individuals who find themselves
involved in computer communications. Included on the EFH's agenda
are: advocating civil liberty issues in "cyberspace," promoting
wider public access to computer networks, exploring artistic and
social implications of new digital media, and educating the public
about the increasingly important on-line world.

-CYBERSPACE-
* comp.org.eff.talk/comp.org.eff.news
These newsgroups (online conferences), also gated to Internet
mailing lists and Fidonet echomail conferences, serve as much
more than EFF house organs, and are "hot spots" for online debate
on issues such as civil liberties online, legal liabilities of
system operators, copyright and net distribution, the development
of a national public network, and more. Much of the discussion extends
it's way into alt.politics.datahighway and other "places".
* Computer PRIVACY Digest (CPD) (ex- Telecom Privacy Digest)
Like RISKS, a moderated digest-format electronic newsletter. It is
more open that RISKS or PFD, "and was established to provide a forum
for discussion on the effect of technology on privacy. All too often
technology is way ahead of the law and society as it presents us with
new devices and applications. Technology can enhance and detract from
privacy."
Subscribe requests: comp-privacy-request@uwm.edu
* Computer underground Digest (CuD)
Cu-Digest, or CuD, is a more-or-less-weekly on-line electronic
journal/news digest. The Digest is intended as a forum for the
discussion of legal, ethical, social, and other issues regarding
computerized information and communications. We welcome contributions
reflecting diversity of thought and perspective, focussed on the
computer/telecommunications culture including BBSes, Internet, and
public access systems. CuD is focussed especially on alternative groups
that exist outside of the conventional net community.

* Cypherpunks
The Cypherpunks mailing lists exist for those interested in cryptography
and it's political rammifications, programming encryption software,
creation of digital cash and electronic banking via secure (and
anonymous) crypto tech, local crypto-oriented activism, hacking cypher
hardware, and more. There also tends to be much libertarian/
anarcho-capitalistdebate as well. The main list is VERY high-traffic.
The UK branch generally goes by the name of UK Crypto-Privacy Assoc.,
and like some of the other local sub-groups, has face-to-face meetings.
The CypherWonks list is a split-off that is generally opposed to the
anarchic stance of some on the main list. I have no info at the moment
on the local groups, other than Austin Cypherpunks so if anyone has
info to pass on please do so.

(with an emphasis on the former)." Moderated by Lauren Weinstein.

* RISKS Forum Digest (RFD)
Risks is an online newsletter of sorts, the "forum on risks to the

networking, and is moderated by Peter G. Neumann.

Who/where: This list is maintained by Stanton McCandlish <mech@eff.org>, and
FAQ-ized and distributed by L. Detweiler. It is based on a previous version
by Shari Steele. Future updates will be posted to the TheseGroups mailing
list and comp.org.eff.talk, besides several other places. The most current
version is archived on ftp.eff.org, pub/Groups/outposts.faq, and is
available for anonymous ftp.
Your listing: Please! Check your entry regularly and make sure it is up to
date. If your org/group does not have a description, please send on ASAP,
or there's not really much point in listing you. Please expand on your
group's contact information as much as possible. Thank you.
Distribution: Note that some of this text is borrowed from the promotional
literature of the organizations described herein. The purpose of such things
is to be copied and to spread info, so I can't see there being any objections,
but if you are paranoid about reprint rights, best to contact the
organizations yourself and make sure it's ok. Before printing in any "real"
publication, it would be a good idea to do so anyway, just to make sure the
info is correct and current. Please notify mech@eff.org if you wish to
reprint this in a non-online medium or otherwise do something unusual with
it (not because I will say no, which I won't, but because I'd just like to be
kept clued in on how the list is being used and if it's being found to be
useful. Thanks!) This FAQ is Copyright 1994 Stanton McCandlish, and is
made available as a freeware service to the online community, on behalf of
the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It may be freely distributed by any
means, provided I and EFF are credited, the list is not sold for profit,
and the list is not modified without permission (other than necessary
reformatting, such as stripping of linefeeds/carriage returns, translation
to postscript, etc. - i.e. no QUALITATIVE modification of the contents
please. If you need to update something, please tell me, and I will make
sure the master copy is corrected and a new version distributed.) This
list may not be sold for profit in any medium, including but not limited to
CD-ROM, database, diskette or hardcopy, without the explicit, written
permission of Stanton McCandlish.
Thanks to: Steve Barber, Simona Nass, Art McGee, Ed Cavazos, John S.
Quarterman, Jon Lebkowski, Shari Steele, L.Detweiler, Elizabeth Reid,
Bernard Aboba, all the folks I pumped for info about their organizations,
all the folks who's descriptive text I've borrowed from, such as RISKs and
CuD conference moderators, etc., and some people I am forgetting surely.

CRAM: the Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement
In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and
as a service to motivated information compilers, I
(L. Detweiler) will help others unfamiliar with Usenet
`publish' their documents for widespread dissemination via the
FAQ structure, and act as a `sponsor' knowledgable in the
submissions process. This document is being distributed under
this arrangement.
I have found these compilations tend to appear on various
mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider
distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of
Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please
contact me and I may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author
include:
- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
- automated mail server service
- FTP archival
- automated posting
- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy,
and coverage of the document enormously through email
feedback
- potential professional inquiries for the use of your
document in other settings, such as newsletters, books,
etc.
- with me as your sponsor, I will also take care of the
technicalities in the proper format of the posted version
and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead'
to focus on the basic updates alone
Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
(particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
<ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>.
The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
have the option of handling the submission process yourself.
See the FAQ submission guidlines FAQ in news.answers.
