And as part of our usual event:

Workshop on prospects for Christchurch FOSS business collaboration:

11am - 12pm: Free Software, secure online voting

Report: Secure Online Voting first principles established, 20/9 at SFD14.

'Secure Online Voting' (SOV) - to get started, maybe never - must be:

Secure - the toughest of technical challenges*;

Free and open-source software based - altruistic, community-good development, where proprietary SOV models have all dismally failed;

Optional - don't expect that SOV shift will ever necessarily happen, as digitised human variability is oxymoronic and not a good thing - bad historical precedents and SOV has to build trust;

Anonymous - without guaranteed disconnection of people from political preferences, new media will degrade and inhibit the current quality of choice, which is intolerable;

Independent - implemented by the Electoral Commission or similar agency, tasked with oversight of a voting system delivering 100% representative integrity; Constitutional - reform required to establish independent democratic priority;

... etc.
