Setting up a whistleblowing or leaking initiative

by GlobaLeaks

 

A step by step guide through the process of setting up a whistleblowing initiative based on GlobaLeaks 0.2. ( https://globaleaks.org ). By the end of this workshop, whoever is interested will go back home with an up and running globaleaks instance.

You are expected to have some basic linux skill to participate to this workshop (i.e. run some commands on the command line), but we will also be very happy to guide the less skilled through the process or group you up with other more knowledgeable participants.

---------------------------

GlobaLeaks is an open-source whistleblowing framework. It empowers anyone to easily set up and maintain a whistleblowing platform. GlobaLeaks can help many different types of users: media organizations, activist groups, corporations and public agencies.

GlobaLeaks is a project aimed at supporting the practice of whistleblowing by giving people the software tools necessary to start their own initiative. It provides high levels of security and anonymity by default, though these parameters can be flexibly changed. This allows the operator to tweak the system in order to reach the right security and usability tradeoff that he feels comfortable with.
