- Last night I attended the awards party for Access Innovation Prize, not knowing what to expect. The prize is for people and organizations using <a href="https://www.accessnow.org/blog/2012/12/11/first-annual-access-innovation-awards-prize-winners-announced">"information technology to promote and enable human rights and deliver social good"</a>. It turns out, geeks on a mission know how to do good and have a good time!

- LEAP was a finalist in the "Making Crypto Easy" category, but the competition was impressive and deserving. I nearly popped a blood vessel when I heard LEAP called as the winner! Big thanks to <a href="https://www.accessnow.org">Access</a> and all the techies and innovators they assembled. It was an excellent party, and a stellar collection of dedicated technologists. On behalf of LEAP, I am humbled and extremely thankful for this prize. Now we get down to putting the prize money to work...

- I just put up the official and uncensored LEAP website. Everything needs a beginning, and I suppose this is our beginning--not with a whimper or a bang, but with a "tada!" Poke around, check us out, and please <a href="/about-us/contact">send us</a> your questions, angry tirades, or love letters. More updates to follow shortly.

- To be honest, this is might be the least satisfying game of bingo ever--but let's play anyway. The rules are simple: make a grid cross referencing OS platform and communication toolset. In each cell, put the name of an open source software package with reasonable security properties. If this exercise doesn't make you break down in tears, then you have won.

- Looking at this table, it is immediately obvious that there are a lot of empty cells. Unfortunately, most of the cells that are filled in contain software that is unfriendly or even sadistic toward the user. Trying to use many of these tools can feel like developing a BDSM relationship with your computer, and you are not the top.
-
- What is missing might be more revealing than what is listed. These toolsets are entirely absent from my 'security bingo' game card:
-
- * *Social Networking:* When I excluded software that I think is unfeasible (SecureShare) or has no security (Diaspora, etc), then you end up with zero projects.
- * *Document Collaboration:* I have high hopes for an encrypted etherpad, but so far no one has started work on it.
- * *Photos/Vidoes & Galleries:* Nothing I have heard of.
- * *Events & Scheduling:* Nothing I have heard of.
- * *Tasks & Planning:* Nothing I have heard of.
-
- I also excluded a few obvious categories:
-
- * *Firewall:* Reasonable firewall support is now built into most operating systems.
- * *Anti-virus:* Viruses are still mostly a problem on Windows. Other platforms have just gotten lucky so far.
-
- If you have suggestions for how I can fill in my game card, please write elijah@leap.se. \ No newline at end of file
