[Air-L] XP-02: Invitation to participate

[Jason Archer]

Greetings AoIR 2016 attendees,

As part of our Carnival of Privacy and Security, we are inviting interested
attendees to participate in a fitness tracker swap that will take place on
Wednesday, Oct. 5th.


The swap will entail exchanging your tracking device with another
participant along with contact information to correspond with other
participants to retrieve your personal trackers. The organizers of the
panel will be participating in the swap as well, and we have a couple extra
devices if you would like to participate and do no have your own device.


We hope the swap will encourage rich discussion around issues of the
privacy and security of trackers during our session on Friday, when we will
finish the swap experiment and return devices to their owners.

If you are interested in participating, please email Jason Archer (
jarche2 at uic.edu) and Nathanael Bassett (nbasse2 at uic.edu) so we can contact
you with further details about the exact time and location of the swap. We
anticipate doing the swap immediately following the last workshop sessions
on Wednesday but still need to finalize a meetup location.

We trust that as a member of the AoIR community all participants,
understanding that participation is voluntary, will apply an ethics of care
and act in good faith to take care of others' personal devices, which
includes doing nothing to compromise the functioning or security of the
device, and with the promise of retuning devices either during our Friday
session or making other arrangements if you will be unable to attend.

If you are not interested in participating in the swap, we hope you still
consider attending our session on Friday to enjoy the other Carnival acts
we have in store.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon,

Jason Archer and Nathanael Bassett
