Saturday November 7 [2015] is the third annual Aaron Swartz Day<\/a>, which celebrates the life of Aaron and the many wonderful Internet projects<\/a> he created or worked on during his brief but brilliant life.<\/p>\n

One of Aaron\u2019s last projects was SecureDrop, the open-source whistleblower submission system, which Freedom of the Press Foundation adopted after his untimely passing in 2013. Every year on Aaron Swartz Day, we help host a weekend-long hackathon<\/a> in Aaron\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n

This year, the hackathon will be held at the Internet Archive<\/a> in San Francisco (there are also other cities<\/a> holding similar events). We will be at the Internet Archive on Saturday and Sunday to help guide and hack alongside any volunteer developers who want to learn about SecureDrop and work on the many open issues.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested, you can read through our developer guide<\/a> and the new-and-improved SecureDrop documentation<\/a>. On our GitHub page, there is a list of open issues<\/a>, and by November 7th, many will be tagged specifically for developers to work on at the hackathon.<\/p>\n

Please RSVP for the hackathon here<\/a> if you\u2019d like to attend.<\/p>\n

Also make sure to stick around the Internet Archive Saturday night for the Aaron Swartz Day celebration<\/a>. There will be many great speakers at the event, including SecureDrop\u2019s lead developer Garrett Robinson to talk about the latest on the project, as well as two of our board members and co-founders, Micah Lee and J.P. Barlow.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to Lisa Rein, who tirelessly organizes Aaron Swartz Day every year and always makes it a celebration to remember.<\/p>\n
