Just a reminder, if you feel like you would go to a Crypto-party you should consider hosting one. Hosting doesn't require any particular level of expertise or experience, just the ability to open Sudoroom and help people learn from each other and from the web. Also I feel that it's important that whoever hosts the cryptoparties has the ability to keep people from stepping on each others' toes or unwittingly engaging in oppressive behavior, which is a risk anytime there are people seeking knowledge and others offering knowledge. But basically the point is, feel free to host a cryptoparty yourself! -jake On Mon, 29 Feb 2016, Charley Sheets wrote: On Fri, 12 Feb 2016 07:59:54 -0800 > Jehan Tremback <jehan.tremback(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey, I want to start up the crypto parties at Sudo again.

Yes, a cryptoparty happened yesterday. I taught some people how to use Signal, Privacy Badger, etc. I also had someone without a phone install Telegram on their laptop with the caveat that Telegram's crypto is not as well-reviewed as Signal and that they should switch when Signal desktop becomes available. I will do another cryptoparty in March, but on the 3rd Sunday this time.
