I submitted a 20 mins talk.

Abstract

SecureDrop is a free software platform for whistle-blowers, developed by the Freedom of the Press Foundation. It received the 2016 Free Software Award from the Free Software Foundation for Social Benefits.

It is a solution for mass surveillance systems. Developers, trainers and translators are encouraged to participate in their investigation to help their sources of anonymity.

This is not a lucrative market and companies will probably ignore it. So it is up to, citizens, to mobilize to help such a tool can exist to support the press freedom that we need.

I propose a shameless copy/paste of the excellent talk proposal from FOSDEM

This session will introduce SecureDrop, a Free Software whistleblowing platform which received the 2016 Free Software Award from the Free Software Foundation for Social Benefits. We will describe how it addresses the critical need for a way for journalists and sources to communicate securely and anonymously. Many large news organizations including the Associated Press (AP), the Guardian, the Washington Post and the New York Times are all now running SecureDrop in their newsrooms to preserve an anonymous tip line in the presence of increasing surveillance powers by governments and corporations. We will describe how SecureDrop works, how you can install it, and how you can contribute to the project.
