Join Us This Weekend in Honoring Aaron Swartz‘s Legacy by Hacking for a Better World

Aaron Swartz Day and the international hackathon weekend is taking place on what would have been Aaron‘s 28th birthday weekend, November 8th and 9th, 2014. In San Francisco, on Saturday, November 8th, at the Internet Archive‘s celebration, this year‘s theme is “setting the record straight,” and will feature seven fantastic speakers sharing on the latest developments in many Aaron-related projects and issues, including EFF’s legal director Cindy Cohn and activist April Glaser, as well as developers of Secure Drop, journalist Kevin Poulsen, Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, and Dan Purcell of Aaron’s legal team at Keker and Van Nest.
