I saw a blurb about this "Technocracy Now" event on another list and thought it might be of interest to liberationtech. It shows a deep and nuanced appreciation of irony to include Palantir on a panel about government transparency and democracy. Case in point: http://wikileaks.ch/IMG/pdf/WikiLeaks_Response_v6.pdf -------------- Technocracy Now http://technocracynow.eventbrite.com/ Tuesday, August 23, 2011 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PDT) Mountain View, CA A discussion about how technology is changing government transparency and decision making with Ari Gesher (Palantir), Abhi Nemani (Code for America), Matt Monahan (Inflection) and more. A great event if you are interested in the civic space. -------------- _______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list liberationtech@lists.stanford.edu Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
