Biographical / Historical

Judi Clark was an organizer of the annual conference of Computers, Freedom, and Privacy (CFP), which started in 1991. The impulse behind the first meeting was computer specialist, Jim Warren (1936-2021) with the support of San Francisco-based organization, Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR). The conference featured panel discussions centered around the public and private usage of the Internet including freedom of speech protections, security of personal data stored by private companies, government regulation and technology, and cultivating civility on Internet bulletin boards.
Conferences were primarily held in the San Francisco Bay Area and speakers included computer scientists, legal scholars, information technologists, free speech advocates, and cyber security experts. Among them were Judith Krug, a former director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom at the American Library Association; Marc Rotenberg co-founder of the Electronic Privacy Information Center; Bruce Sterling, a founder of the cyberpunk movement; and John Perry Barlow, founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The CFP officially dissolved in 2000, and conferences continued under the sponsorship of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) until at least 2015.
