Friday evening I went to the Vrijland estate near Schaarsbergen/Arnhem. This former hq of the Dutch 11th Air Mobile Brigade (who still reside nearby) is currently used by the Hack42 collective. Here the book launch of “Infosecurity (Gran knows why)” and opening of the art exhibition “Into Nothingness” took place, in the former chapel of the estate.
Arjen Kamphuis was well known for his work on government transparency, and especially IT and online security. He e.g trained journalists on how to do their work more safely, and consulted various companies on their IT security. He also e.g. consulted the Dutch government in 2013 on why using voting computers is bad practice in an accountable democracy. Next to that he was an avid hiker and mountaineer.

Thank you Ton Zijlstra. I updated the post.
But the by admin part is added by wordpress. Intialy it was my name. to avoid that confusion i changed the display part as Admin. i started the account with my name long back.
Yes this is a non profit blog. it is to republish important information and translate my language so that more people will read. translate is a slow process. it take time. but i will keep the nc-sa flag there too.

Thank you very much! Yes, translation is time consuming….but important, to cross-pollinate information and ideas across different language zones. Happy blogging!
