## Decentralized Internet & Privacy :ps: [Get your decentralized project some EU funding](https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/eufunding/) presentation of the [PUBLIC](https://public-infrastructure.eu/) EU consortium has been accepted at the **Decentralized Internet and Privacy Devroom** of FOSDEM 2018. ![PUBLIC](https://ps.zoethical.org/uploads/default/original/1X/6af22cf9e18322dfb43ef3d98b7b032e6cae5c92.png) Apart from PUBLIC, this year the _DIP devroom_ is showcasing @panayotis’s [MAZI Project](http://www.mazizone.eu/) and the [Openki](https://openki.net/) the platform for open education, as well as a handful of decentralized projects: the [RIPE ATLAS](https://atlas.ripe.net/) probe, the [Tor](https://torproject.org) and [I2P](https://geti2p.net/) networks, OpenDHT and the [RING](https://ring.cx) network, data distribution in the [RetroShare](http://retroshare.net/) network, a presentation of [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) novelties such as Communities and user interface to cryptographic functionality, two Framasoft presentations that follow each other (on [PeerTube](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube) and [Contributopia](https://contributopia.org/)) and two [SecureDrop](http://securedrop.org/) presentations that don’t follow each other (why?), as well as [CryptPad](https://cryptpad.fr/) (and how not to trust the server), [Privacy Score](https://privacyscore.org/) (and how to trust a server), the [LEAP](https://leap.se/) project, and [EteSync](https://www.etesync.com/), an AGPL tamper-proof journal system. ## ~~100%~~ 94.1% White Male :ps:'s talk scheduled for **Sunday, February, 4th** in room **H.1301 (Cornil)** at **09:30** (🕤 in the morning) That’s pretty early for a Sunday, yes? But what’s more troubling is that the [whole day schedule](https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/track/decentralised_internet_and_privacy/) which counts 17 interventions will be presented, correct me if I’m wrong, by ~~17~~ 16 white males and one female. ![Not_boyfriends_computer-940x529](https://ps.zoethical.org/uploads/default/original/1X/066a627703c1940a3213f1c5a9699ca515753b80.jpg) What is this supposed to tell about the state of the decentralized Internet effort? As far as I’m concerned, I’ve been talking to several women about these issues over the years, like @sva, @SDD, @nana, @ksenia, @heathermarsh, Demos, Julia, Andrea, Krista, Tanja Lange, etc. Why is it that our community is ceaselessly reproducing the same old paternalist bias? I’m trying to convince @natacha or @SDD to make the presentation instead of me, which is not given yet, since @natacha told me she wouldn’t be there based on the 100% male line-up. ## Should I stay or should I go? ---

I know for a fact that presenters are not 100% male. Hard to guess when people use anonymous nicknames 😉 ---

Welcome Loic! There’s only one presentation that does not give a name in the Decentralized room, and AFAIK all others are males. Can you hint me? Ah, RedShiftZero! I corrected the percentage 😉 ---

## P.S.: @ FOSDEM 2018 [https://video.fosdem.org/2018/H.1301%20(Cornil)/eufunding.webm](https://video.fosdem.org/2018/H.1301%20(Cornil)/eufunding.webm) ## Diversity Interestingly, @taziden from Decentralized Room team decided to handover the organization of the room for next year, preferably to a woman. He wrote in a Mastodon message: > **[taziden (@taziden@mstdn.fr)](https://mstdn.fr/@taziden/99479092413331194)** > > @how@s10y.eu @bram@social.wxcafe.net @Siltaer@mamot.fr @whilelm @nitot@framapiaf.org let's do an (early) call for organizers, shall we? > > Requirements: > \- Need to be involved in at least one cool decentralization related project > \- Better if not a cis... > On espère une salle plus grande l’an prochain, et qu’une nouvelle équipe d’orga se manifestera car nous souhaitons passer le flambeau ! “We’re hoping for a larger room next year, and that a new organizational team step up, as we wish to pass the torch!” Then : > @how @bram @Siltaer @whilelm @nitot let’s do an (early) call for organizers, shall we? > > Requirements: > > - Need to be involved in at least one cool decentralization related project > - Better if not a cis white male > > What do you say?
