= We can use open source-style processes to develop sensor and data handling standards that take into account both the right to privacy and the right (or perceived need) to sense.

Description

"Pervasive sensing is arriving soon — we have a short window of opportunity for guiding this technology to protect both our security *and* our privacy.

This is an open source-style project with the goal of bringing the benefits of a bottom-up, decentralized approach to sensing for security and environmental purposes.

The intent of the project is to take advantage of advances in sensing to improve both security and the environment, while preserving — even strengthening — privacy, freedom, and civil liberties." (http://opensourcesensing.org/)
