<p>Hi all!<br>
</p>
<p>Wanted to extend this CFP for a new conference my org, eQualitie,
is putting together in December. Many folks on this list would be
great contributors to this gathering of researchers, technologists
and hackers working on combating the ever-growing threat of
'Splinternets', internet shutdowns and censorship. Full invite
below:</p>
