Session to synthesize providing support for digital security training efforts

Removing conversation from white male dominated space
Interested in building training capacity
Responsibility around providing security guidance
Sharing better resources in newsroom context, figuring out where solidarity fits into this conversation and around threat modeling
Roundup post of existing tool kits, tool kits that are going out of date
Digital security training and community building in a domestic context
Encountering lots of people who want to train, but do not have an audience
Education backgrounds, issues with the way that trainings are done
Not just what resources are out there, but think about ways to build training approaches that are less “colonial”

BRAIN DUMP!

Add to wiki list of resources: [TBD]
Organizations, forums, networks to be aware of for those looking for resources for training
Events and meet ups – both local and global level, large and small

EVENTS

How folks who don’t feel like experts engage with events – how can they?

Diversity & Inclusion Fund – provides travel support for those with sessions in the final approved program

Not entirely positive on travel support, but large scale gathering of useful and involved folks

Collaborative support for attendance, tend to be proactive in outreach to get engaged folks to come

Journalists only, closed network, but can get in if you pitch a session that is accepted

What are the key takeaways from this conversation over the past few days

Realization of the shelf life of digisec tools and resources
Need to break tool based training models, parachute models
We need to make resources and materials more remixable
Have help desk resources, trainer help desk for assistance
Coming up with language that reflects and fits our movement models
Accessibility of information to non-native tech users
Language, cultural relevancy, who is actually benefitting from these trainings?
How much of a barrier is the localization question and language skills problem
New thing! Potential risk of longevity related to tools that we’re recommending? Ex. Signal
Keeping software dev projects mission centered and supported
Alternative training models?
Disentangle “accessibility” and reactionary aspect of Opening Something That Is Closed
Become a trainer from within the culture of a movement or community itself
Not about delivering a training, its about building a relationship
