Noisy Square
From 31C3_Public_Wiki
The Noisy Square is a horizontally organized community full of critical thinking, discussions, theorizing and politics. We encourage the fundamental questioning of all the systems we rely on, fight, build or destroy. We aim to build stronger ties, learn from and teach to the individuals and organizations participating in 31C3. Our favorite subjects are citizen-journalism, tools for freedom, censorship, surveillance, open technology, circumvention techniques, organization analyses and politics in general.

Anti-harassment policy
Like the technical community as a whole, the Noisy Square community is made up of a mixture of people from all over the world, working on a variety of projects -- including developing, teaching, engineering and connecting people. Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to when they’re participating within this community. These rules apply equally to all. This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can or cannot do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it’s intended -- a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate. This policy is meant for the Noisy Square 31C3 gathering in Hamburg and the virtual spaces like IRC, mailing list and website.
Create a welcoming space. Be welcoming, friendly and patient.
Remember that we’re a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone else’s primary language.
- We want social justice. If you rarely feel out of place, you probably are part of a majority. Let's be clear: this is mostly the case, but not limited to the stereotype of the white male nerd. At CCC, you might be part of the majority because you grew up in occidental culture, or because you have a shiny degree in Computer Science, you have a well paid job, you come here ever since you can walk, or you simply are a good speaker and a confident person. Being part of a majority means that you should check on your own privileges from time to time and maybe take a step back. Ask yourself if you take up too much space by talking more, louder or longer than others, for example. Empower minorities: explicitly invite minorities & shy people to speak. Simply give enough space to everyone be able to express themselves and to evolve freely in order to make NoisySquare a more diverse place.
- Be considerate. Your ideas will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the ideas of others. Any decision you take will affect other participants, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions.
- Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Noisy Square community should be respectful when dealing with other participants.
- Be careful in the words that you choose. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Violent threats or language directed against another person.
- Sexist, racist, or otherwise discriminatory jokes and language.
- Exhibiting violent speak or material.
- Publishing (or threatening to publish) other people’s personally identifying information ("doxing").
- Recording, photographing or filming other persons without their consent. Seek consent before recording. Also ask people who may be seen or heard in the background.
- Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
- Unwelcome sexual attention.
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
- Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
When we disagree, try to understand why. Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and Noisy Square is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength of Noisy Square comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, please consider offering your help in order to resolve issues and to help learn from mistakes.
Adapted from the Tails HackFest 2014 -- Anti-harassment policy, who used the Django Code of Conduct, that itself attributes it to the Speak Up! project.

| Alternative Learning Tank | The Alternative Learning Tank is a nomadic school and artistic organization that focuses in the research, creation and implementation of educational programs on progressive and radical fields of knowledge that are not contemplated by educational institutions. It strives for a reform of those institutions, embracing how knowledge is being produced and transferred in the XXI century. Drawing from precedents such as contemporary social movements, digital rights, hacker culture, new media and a general critical stand point about technology. ALT develops a practice of intellectual production and advocacy at the intersection between pedagogy, art and activism. | Noisy Square | MBeltran, Zilog, Postdigital, | Talk | MBeltran Zilog Postdigital | en - English | social political art hacking coding security | Alternative Learning Tank | Alternative Learning Tank Alternative Learning Tank |

| The Surveillance State: closer to home than you ever imagined. | Undercover Police officers in the UK spent years living with activists, forming the most intimate relationships and infiltrating every single part of our lives. No matter how many layers of encryption you use, if your closest companions are cops, sharing your home, your details and your computer, there is nowhere to hide. This talk is by one of a group of 8 women suing the London Metropolitan Police over undercover abuses. It will look at the experience of police infiltration in the UK, some of our responses, and how that might relate to digital privacy struggles and resistance to other parts of the surveillance state. | Noisy Square | Atikka, | Talk | Atikka | en - English | social political security safety | The Surveillance State: closer to home than you ever imagined. | The Surveillance State: closer to home than you ever imagined.
