Dear Hacks & Hackers crowd,

(Remember to go through the courtyard at the venue)

We have a wonderful Hacks/Hackers evening lined up this month in collaboration with Sourcefabric (http://www.sourcefabric.org/) and n-ost (http://www.n-ost.org/), around a project of the Bundeszentrale für Politische Bildung (http://www.bpb.de/): Shift_Shape_Mobilize - a tools & skills workshop for bloggers.

Join us as the temperatures drop, and be warmed by the enthusiasm of our community as we discuss the intersection between Technology and Journalism.

Due to her outspoken voice against the current government in Azerbaijan she has been the target of several trolls on social media. Her work focuses on peace-building and understanding in the South Caucasus. She will talk about how government trolls can affect freedom of speech online.
