Crowd funding
We will target reaching 50 campuses and 50 organizations in a year.
Step 1: Target Free Software, wiki volunteers -> debate with them about privacy and importance of this campaign. Build campaign team
Step 2: Crowd funding -> create posters, stickers, leaflets etc. travel, food and accommodation for volunteers.
Step 3: Colleges -> Build a technical volunteers team. We should be able to setup diaspora for organizations interested.
Step 4: Organizations -> a social web solution for organizations.

The internet. It changed everything. The way we communicate, learn, interact and even conceive ideas have been drastically transformed by the Internet. It's ocean of knowledge and the best shore for sharing ideas and thoughts. BUT, there is surveillance. You are being watched !
But the internet is under attack, large amounts of private data is being collected and stored indefinitely by corporations and governments. Mass surveillance without suspicion has become the norm. [PAUSE] And nobody is aware of it.
We can fight back, we have the tools for secure communication on the internet. What we aim is to take these tools to the masses with the message that privacy on the internet is doable.
Support us. With your support we should be able to fund travel and stay of volunteers, make campaign materials and make people aware of privacy.

Since I reached target of my diaspora packaging crowd funding early, I added diaspora yatra as a stretch goal. See https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/make-diaspora-installation-one-step-on-debian/x/509624 promote the campaign.

Script for a short video:
The internet is a great evolution in human history. Information is at our finger tips, we can talk to anyone anywhere in the world in real time, it has large collection of knowledge and culture. We have seen people organize themselves and remove years of dictatorships in many countries like Egypt an Tunisia.
But the internet is under attack, large amounts of private data is being collected and stored indefinitely by corporations and governments. Mass surveillance without suspicion has become the norm.
We can fight back, we have the tools for secure communication on the internet. What we lack is deep pockets available to these corporations.
What we aim is to take these tools to the masses with the message that privacy on the internet is doable.
With your support we should be able to fund travel and stay of volunteers, make promotional materials and make people aware of privacy.
