Hell Holy Kopimists and Sudoers,
A group of self-organized students from UC Berkeley want to Visit
Sudo Room on October 14th 5pm to take theory into praxis. Their
student-run class is "Politics of Digital Piracy" .

They are asking if someone would like to take point on peer-teaching
one of the following topics to the insatiable and impressionable
minds of the hackcers-to-be.
As far as volunteers go, I think if would be cool if someone:
a.) did a hands-on workshop setting up Thunderbird, enigmail,
and explain a bit about encryption/decryption, pgp and private
keys ect.
b.) setting up tor. Despite its recent cracks, there have been
students that have expressed interest in using Tor.
c.) talk about the hack culture, and what kind of things
sudoroom does.
Let me know if you think this is doable. Should be fun. Also,
bringing a group from the Open Computing Facility as well.
Please reply all so that our organizer Angelica can be part of the
conversation or reply to her directly.
Gratutiously yours,
Max

Great.
So here is a link to the class wiki page (yes, we're still using
your implementation of the WMF Education Program).

The topics we have covered so far are copyright law, privacy and
surveillance, hack culture, and are moving on to peer to peer
networks this week.
The week of Oct 14 (the proposed evening), we will just be
presenting midterm projects, so I think the learning objective of
our trip to sudoroom could be related to any of our covered topics
so far.
