WAHCKon 2013: Hackers, the Internet and Campaigns for Social Justice

Apologies for the brevity of this post. Hopefully I'll come back and develop it further in the not-too-distant future, but for now I'm using it as a pointer to the presentation I'm going to give at Perth's first hacker con, WAHCKon 2013. Well, that, and some of the groups and links mentioned in the presentation.

A PDF version of the presentation is available here.
