Our NGI TALER workshop at Journals n’ Spirits 2025 was successfully completed
On November 13, we represented NGI TALER at Journals n’ Spirits 2025, which was organized by omniatv together with the initiatives Vlavi (magazine), Copwatch GR, FactReview, Femicide.gr, Homo Digitalis, INFOWAR, inside story., Jacobin Greece, KRAX Radio, The Manifold, Reporters United, Solomon, The Untold, Vouliwatch, and YUSRA (magazine/publications), at the Kypseli Municipal Market.
More specifically, Eleftherios Chelioudakis from our team presented the GNU TALER digital payments tool, which functions like digital cash and radically reshapes the ecosystem of electronic micropayments. It is based on the principles of free/libre software and strict respect for privacy, offering a new way to conduct online financial transactions while ensuring full accountability.
We also spoke about the funding opportunities provided by NGI TALER for everyone who can contribute to our important mission. Do you have relevant ideas? Submit your application by February 1, 2026, here.
Participation of Homo Digitalis in a Conference on Spyware
On Friday, November 21, Homo Digitalis was represented by our member and Lawyer admitted to the Supreme Court, Melina Skondra, who delivered an outstanding contribution in the third panel of the conference “The Rule of Law Today in Greece and Europe,” on the topic: Spyware, surveillance, and human rights.
We had the honor of sharing the panel with Thanasis Koukakis, journalist and victim of surveillance, and Maria Alexandri, Lawyer admitted to the Supreme Court and member of the Research Group on Information Law at the University of Macedonia.
The conference was organized by DEMOTRUST with the support of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, under the auspices of the Centre for European Constitutional Law and syntagmawatch.gr, with ROSA MEDIA as the media sponsor.
