Electronic Frontier Foundation - 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.

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-capitalist
debate as well. The main list is VERY high-traffic. The
UK branch generally goes by the name of UK Crypto-Privacy Assoc.
The CypherWonks list is a split-off that is generally opposed to
the anarchic stance of some on the main list. There are also
some local lists [no info on these as of yet.]

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 that 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. Some other groups that
may be relevant to such interests:
alt.activism
alt.activism.d
