Hi Garrett!!

This is a great idea. And you all can def use Sudo for this - or we can reserve a private room at Omni. Happy to help put it on the calendar, etc (although I can't commit to the course).

Is there a day of the week/weekend daytime that you have in mind? Maybe we can put out a poll on the list for what day would work best for folks who are interested. I'm sure many would dig this.

Best, April

 I can commit to awareness building amongst the various cryto groups I'm a part of . It would be awesome if more bitcoin people did the course.

I'm fairly overloaded right now. I'd be most likely to participate on Friday or esp Sunday . 

It will be a great thing if something can come together.

I feel like not very many people realize that Dan Boneh's course is structured as pretty broad survey so you can dip in in the middle and get something out of it.

There was once a crypto study group maybe a year and a half ago at the old sudo. It was well attended for the first week or two, but attendance precipitously dropped off.

I'd be interested in a study group seeing as I've never actually finished all of this class before :-/

I'm sure that it would be fine to host this - I would imagine that the only requirement would be a sudoroom member who wants to bottom line this. Any takers? Also - we should check the calendar to try to find a time where we think we can get good turnout without overlapping with too many other events:

I think we'd want to try to avoid Wednesday and Thursday, but otherwise it looks pretty clear.
