Yes, it’s that time again. Time to post the annual list of panels I’m doing this year at Dragon Con. Now things are a little different as well this year, as I’m no longer just ‘Junior Minion’ on the track, I’m now the Electronic Frontier Forums track Assistant Director. Basically means I have to sit in more meetings, and are more likely to have a finger pointed at me if things go wrong.
Also, as is traditional (it seems) I’m doing MORE panels than last year. Seriously, more every year – just look at the graph.
At this rate, I’ll be doing a panel every session by 2018.
Anyway, for those who have the interest, here they are
Notice I’m down for two at once. Ooops. Kind of a scheduling snafu this year, as one was moved to the other’s time. So, I’m going to pre-record a bit about net neutrality, which will mostly recap the start of the fight, which I had a hand in (which is the 0.5 in the graph)
