* Computers and Academic Freedom (CAF)
CAF is a list/newsgroup/archive devoted to issues of computing,
freedom of expression, and privacy, especially in relation to the edu-
cational and academic communities. CAF is available in several forms,
is archived, and has been provided storage space by the Electronic
Frontier Foundation for a collection of related important documents.
comp-academic-freedom-talk (caf-talk) is the interactive discussion
version of the list. comp-academic-freedom-batch is a digested version
that presents each day's contributions as a single compilation, rather
that a continuous stream of incoming separate messages.
comp-academic-freedom-news is a digested version featuring a weekly
sample of the most important messages. comp-academic-freedom-abstracts
is a weekly digest containing only abstracts rather than the full text
of the list. For more detailed information on the versions, send a message
body of "LONGINDEX" to listserv@eff.org.

* Cybermind
"An electronic forum for the discussion of the philosophical and
psychological implications of subjectivity in cyberspace...We are
interested in particular in the philosophical, psychological/
psychoanalytic and social issues engendered, particularly as they concern
the user and the social [realm]...: the psychology of intimacy, the role
of gender, the phenomenology of the terminal screen, neurosis and
paranoia on the Net, the relationship of lag to community and communi-
cation, sex/gender/sexual orientation theory and electronic subjectivity,
the role of the symbolic or imaginary in computer communication, the
implications of symbolic extensions of the human ('external memory', and
so forth), fantasy and the hallucinatory aspects of email/USENET
groups/MUDs, and the psychoanalysis of lurking."

* Cypherpunks
The Cypherpunks mailing lists exist for those interested in cryptography
and it's political rammifications, programming encryption software,
creation of digital cash and electronic banking via secure (and
anonymous) crypto tech, local crypto-oriented activism, hacking cypher
hardware, and more. There also tends to be much libertarian/
anarcho-capitalist debate as well. The main list is fairly high-traffic.
The UK branch generally goes by the name of UK Crypto-Privacy Assoc.,
and like some of the other local sub-groups, has face-to-face meetings.
The CypherWonks list is a split-off that is generally opposed to the
anarchic stance of some on the main list. A recent addition to the stable
is Cypherpunks Lite, a lower-traffic version for more serious participants.
Joining the list requires a membership fee [don't have address for this
yet]. I have no info at the moment on the local groups, other than the
Austin & Boston Cypherpunks, so if anyone has info to pass on please do so.
