"utmost transparency" och vårt informationsunderläge i EU
by Erik Josefsson 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hejsan, vi var nåra som träffades igår och lunchade på det övergripande temat transparens och informtionsunderläge. Jag känner fortfarande såhär: http://blog.okfn.org/2012/06/27/taking-utmost-transparency-to-the-next-leve… Jag tror att informtionsunderläget går att bygga bort. //Erik Taking "utmost transparency" to the next level -- at4am for all! June 27, 2012 in Free Culture <http://blog.okfn.org/category/free-culture/>, Legal <http://blog.okfn.org/category/legal/>, Open Government Data <http://blog.okfn.org/category/open-government-data/>, WG EU Open Data <http://blog.okfn.org/category/working-groups/wg-eu-open-data/>, WG Open Government Data <http://blog.okfn.org/category/working-groups/wg-open-government-data/> <http://blog.okfn.org/files/2012/06/epfsug_at4am_invitation_banner_640_100_p…> /What? When?? Where??? How?!?!/ were the questions that got me started some 10 years ago now, on my free software journey that's taken me to the heart of the European Parliament. As a young Swedish musician, politically innocent and ignorant as the next, I got worked up together with a bunch of newborn stallmanites unleashing ourselves on the internet determined to kill the software patents directive <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_directive>. There was a lot of code. I remember Xavi rewrote the EU's co-decision procedure algorithm in java <http://web.archive.org/web/20030212001905/http://patents.caliu.info/codecis…> to be able to understand it, and that our content management system said 'Cannot parse this Directive' instead of returning 404. The tracking of MEPs was managed by Knecht <http://wiki.ffii.org/KnechtSubjEn>, an email driven content management program written in lisp (insert awe comment here), and I cannot remember the number of different perl scripts that were playing around with voting results <http://eupat.ffii.org/papri/eubsa-swpat0202/plen0309/vote/analysis.html>. It all ended happily (we won), and I still say "Can I have a B-item please!" whenever I get to go for drink with Miernik <http://www.linkedin.com/in/miernik> or Jonas <http://wiki.ffii.org/OpenLtr050307En>. You might think things would be different when you're on the inside. I have been working in the European Parliament since the last elections <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Josefsson_%28activist%29>, but it turns out at least three of the questions are still the same -- /What? When?? Where???/ One administrative response from the institution is to serve the MEPs and their staff with iPads and intranet pages. Users of iPads and intranet are happy. But I am not. I have decided with a bunch of old stubborn stallmanites to try to use free software in the European Parliament as far as humanly possible. And we do. And it is (partially) possible. We put up a sign at FOSDEM <https://fosdem.org/> in February last year calling for help <http://epfsug.eu/blog-entry/ep-needs-your-help-come-janson> and now we are 2 patrons, 13 members and 29 supporters. You can find info on how to become a supporter or a member (or even patron) of European Parliament Free Software Users Group (EPFSUG) here <http://epfsug.eu/become-a-member-or-a-supporter>. Another administrative answer by the institution to the questions above has been to build an Automatic Tool for AMendments, at4am <http://vimeo.com/17598642>. If ever I can nominate anybody to the Nobel Peace Prize, it would be the at4am developers team who have made this brilliant application possible. They have succeeded in making independent and competing committees in the European Parliament cooperate to provide information on their internal workings that can be parsed into a unified way of tabling amendments. It's huge. Imagine a world without git (or anything like it) and then there is git -- that is how epic this application is. More than 150k amendments has been tabled since its launch. I'd say that the same number of tears and curses have been saved. Now, to close this already long, bushy and wild blog post with the reason for it in the first place: The at4am team has decided to share the code with the world <https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/news/european-parliament-share-amendment-web-to…>, and on Wednesday 11 July we're going to talk about which license would be best to use <http://epfsug.eu/content/at4am-all>. The event is kindly hosted by MEP Marie-Christine Vergiat <https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Christine_Vergiat>, and Carlo Piana <http://law.piana.eu/it/intro> and Karsten Gerloff <http://fsfe.org/about/gerloff/gerloff.en.html> from Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) are going to speak. Please come! A follow up meeting should of course focus on how to get the data out of the EP intranet and which licence would then be the best to use. Why? Because the question /"How?!?!"/ actually has an answer already. Rule 103 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament <http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+RULES-EP+2…> reads as follows: *Transparency of Parliament's activities* 1. Parliament shall ensure that its activities are conducted with the utmost transparency, in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 1 of the Treaty on European Union, Article 15 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 42 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. That's a pretty serious standard. Come join to give it meaning! Let's figure out how to make utmost transparency work in practice.

"Profilgranskad på internet"
by Linus Nordberg 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hej! Michal Kosinski och hans grupp på Cambridge University har med hjälp av Facebook-appen myPersonality samlat in uppgifter från frivilliga användare. Intressanta resultat och intressant databas. Ett test de gjort är att titta på nära 60000 amerikaners Facebookprofiler. Bara genom att utgå från vad de tryckt gilla på kunde ett datorprogram få fram allt ifrån sexuell läggning, politisk hemvist och religion till om deras föräldrar var skilda. De tre första med hög procentuell säkerhet, den sista med lite lägre. http://www.svd.se/naringsliv/karriar/profilgranskad-pa-internet_7572810.svd Mer om myPersonality på http://mypersonality.org/wiki/doku.php (via http://www.psychometrics.cam.ac.uk/page/255/mypersonality.htm). Någon som har tittat närmare på databasen?

Request For Comments on Islands of Resilience 17-24 September 2012 http://islandsofresilience.eu/
by JOSEFSSON Erik 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hej! Jag håller på att plåga mina nätverk om att få hjälp med att lusläsa en studie och framför därför min förfrågan även till DFRIs "listan" :-) Hoppas det går bra att be om feedback på detta sätt. *********************************** This is a request for comments on the study Islands of Resilience by Smári McCarthy and Eleanor Saitta: http://islandsofresilience.eu/ It lays out a comparative model for ICT possibilities with regards to energy, connectivity and jurisdiction through a case study of Iceland. The RFC period is one week, 17-24 September, starting today. The study is commissioned by the MEPs of the Greens/EFA Group. Please feel free to comment on the text by using the annotator on the site or by sending an email to the open and publicly archived mailing list hub(a)icg.greens-efa.eu. Thank you for your contributions! *********************************** Det lilla annotatorskriptet som finns på sidan har jag hört funkar dåligt på äldre IE, men då kan man maila till hub(a)icg.greens-efa.eu istället. mvh //Erik -- Erik Josefsson Advisor on Internet Policies Greens/EFA Group <http://www.greens-efa.eu/36-details/josefsson-erik-138.html> GSM: +32484082063 BXL: PHS 04C075 TEL: +3222832667 SBG: WIC M03005 TEL: +33388173776

Namnunderskrifter mot datalagringsdirektivet
by Linus Nordberg 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hej listan! Vill DFRI hjälpa till att samla in 15000 namn mot datalagringsdirektivet? Bifogat brev med länk förklarar vad det handlar om -- att under ett års tid med början mitten av 2013 samla in toalt en miljon namnunderskrifter mot datalagringsdirektivet. Den svenska kvoten ser ut att vara 15000. (Man kan bara beklaga att länken (EU-kommissionen) inte är nåbar för Tor-användare. Har ni några kanaler för påtryckningar mot ec.europa.eu, använd dem eller låt oss veta hur vi skall använda dem.)

Fwd: [hub] Islands of Resilience RFC process
by JOSEFSSON Erik 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Halloj. Annonserar härmed en nystartad RFC på IoR (se meddelande från IMMI nedan). Islands of Resilience http://islandsofresilience.eu/ har ett kapitel om jurisdiktion som delvis överlappar dfris intressesfär. Det "nya" med IoR är att modellen listar och betygsätter egenskaper i lagrummet som reglerar internet, som till exempel: Surveillance Burden: How strong are state imposed surveillance requirements? 1. The state imposes full electronic surveillance of all telecommunications. 2. The state performs pervasive monitoring of selected portions of telecommunications networks, either targeted at individuals or groups, or on certain links, such as border crossings. 3. The state requires ISPs to submit traffic logs to government agencies for inspection either regularly or upon request. 4. The state requires telecommunications data retention, but otherwise does not require or perform any surveillance. 5. The state does not perform or require any electronic surveillance. http://islandsofresilience.eu/#appendix-a-model-details Kanske kan IoR funka lite som ett nytt "rättvise-index" för olika länder? Vi har satt upp en annotator som jag hoppas ska funka även i IE. Annars går det bra att maila kommentarer till hub(a)icg.greens-efa.eu. Tjipp! //Erik -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [hub] Islands of Resilience RFC process Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2012 12:59:11 +0000 From: Smári McCarthy <smari(a)immi.is> <mailto:smari@immi.is> To: hub(a)icg.greens-efa.eu London, October 1st 2012: IMMI, the International Modern Media Institute, in cooperation with the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament, have today launched an open request for comments on the paper Islands of Resilience, which contains an analytical framework for energy, connectivity and jurisdiction aimed at locales for data center and cloud service hosting. In the paper, Iceland is explored as a potential locale for such services, both to highlight Iceland's comparative strengths and weaknesses, and to demonstrate the function of the analytical model. The open Request for Comments process will be open for one month, until November 1st 2012. It is the sincere hope of IMMI's board and staff that as many as possible participate in this RFC process and help improve the quality and detail of this report.

make a difference :-)
by JOSEFSSON Erik 30 Sep '12

30 Sep '12

Hej! Jag underar om det kanske finns folk på listan med ett tetris-förflutet, eller med nåt liknande lätt drag åt att gilla att pilla med små monotona detaljer? Jag gjorde en diff mellan läckan och det liggande förslaget ("draft") på collective-rights-management-direktivet som blev ganska bra: http://euwiki.org/CRM Nu tänkte jag ge mig på en diff mellan läckan och det liggade förslaget Data Protection Regulation: http://euwiki.org/DPR Kroknade lite igårkväll eftersom det var lite större textmassa så det är därför jag vänder mig till ev. likasinnade. Om det finns nåt automagiskt program som gör diffar skulle jag bli jätteglad. Om inte har jag förslag på hur man ksulle kunna använda det Pippi Longstrings hittar för att bygga en begriplig diff per interessant sektion av texten. Btw, det går nog att rensa upp och göra snygg wikikod med det här skriptet: http://euwiki.org/RoP Mera perl to the people. //Erik Erik Josefsson Advisor on Internet Policies Greens/EFA Group BXL: PHS 04C075 TEL: +3222832667 SBG: WIC M03005 TEL: +33388173776 GSM: +32484082063
