[MyData & Open Data] Swedish Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board scrutinizes Google cloud services to host students data

Thu Mar 6 20:09:10 UTC 2014

Hi Mattias,

Actually I haven't heard of any but I would imagine that there are, we
would just need to find those as they are important considerations when
developing  the key data principles on this project.

Regarding the question about the hackpad, do you mean the pre-festival
planning etherpad (http://pad.okfn.org/p/OKFestival_Meetups)?

Well, we haven't figured out yet whether any of our proposed activities
would be a  pre-event, if it is we would migrate it to the etherpad, but
for now we are still using the WG hackpad (
https://privacyatokfest14.hackpad.com/Privacy-at-OKFestival-14-pGhPWAiQPIQ
).

Cheers,

Sally
