UC Berkeley Student plan field trip to Sudo Room, ask for hackers to give them 'real' education - sudo-discuss

30 Sep 2013

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" .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B…
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.
