Dr Lizbeth Goodman on SafetyNET
Dr Lizbeth Goodman will be speaking at Open Tech 2005 about 'Wireless, Seamless, Discreet' mobile platforms for the SafetyNET Project.
SafetyNet is a global cyber cafe project that uses the power of new technologies to help stop violence against women and children... SafetyNet quietly links women and children to information about domestic violence through online access. In the "safe spaces" of secure, moderated chat rooms, participants communicate with domestic violence specialists, volunteer attorneys, survivors of abuse, and mentors. SafetyNet also provides women with opportunities to develop computer skills and to start e-commerce businesses.
Sponsored by backstage.bbc.co.uk, Open Tech is "an informal,
low cost, one-day conference" that's shaping up to be a really interesting, balanced tech event.

It's looking interesting. It's a shame they're packing so much in - some of the things I'd love to hear both tracks at the same time. I'm going to miss Dr Goodman's talk because I've got to catch the Eurostar back to the contient, but I will certainly be downloading everything I missed. NotCon was great, and I'm hoping OpenTech is going to be even better.
