Schneier on: The Role of Technologists in Public Policy (Today & Tomorrow from RSA Conference)

Bruce Schneier is leading a session on the role of technologists in public policy. Stream link is found here.

When we don't have diversity "we get really bad tech."

He'll be speaking tomorrow in a session on technologists in public policy along with attorney Gigi Sohn, technologist Ashkan Soltani, and others. Session takes place at this week's RSA conference in San Francisco.

But more about "diversity." People think it's just about race or ethnicity (and of course it is.) But diversity also includes *age*, nationality, *class*, hometown, sex, *vantage point*, work experience, what else? And diversity without talent is no guarantee of good tech. But with talent, it *can* make for great tech.
