+=Hosting A Cryptoparty=
+*Cryptoparties are best when some planning takes place before. Hold a planning meeting 1-2 weeks before the event and ping the [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/cryptoparty mailing list] to recruit folks who've expressed interest in helping out.
+*There are handouts linked to above that can be printed out at sudo - they generally live in a clear document holder / trapper keeper labelled 'Cryptoparty' located in a crate of other trapper keepers on the middle shelf between the workshop and the bike station in sudo.
+*Try to reach out to communities that should be using crypto and are generally not connected to the sudo room social network. Activists, journalists, immigrants + expats, POC, etc; Consider hosting the cryptoparty in an entirely different location.
+*At least a week before the cryptoparty, get the word out:
+**Tweet/FB posts via Sudo Room's accounts (ask Jenny for info)
+**Send an announcement to the following mailing lists:
+***[https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss sudo-discuss]
+***[https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/cryptoparty cryptoparty]
+***[https://lists.noisebridge.net/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss noisebridge-discuss]
+*Come half an hour to an hour earlier to set up:
+**Put the sudo room sandwich board out
+**Tape up some signage on the doors if so inclined (there are some paper signs in the clear trapper keeper)
+**Find a good spot for your expected # of attendees. Check with Public School; often we have split up into several working groups using different areas of the common space, sudo room proper, and the public school room.
+*Starting the cryptoparty:
+**Take notes on the wiki - set up a separate wiki page for that month's event [eg; /wiki/Cryptoparty/YEAR/MONTHNAME
+**Allow 15-30 minutes to get to a good group size to start
+**Go around the room and ask folks to introduce themselves, their level of skill w/ crypto, what they're interested in discussing or working on that afternoon.
+**Create an agenda ad-hoc and split the group as needed (pairs work great for things like helping someone set up disk encryption)
+**Have fun! Encourage wide-ranging discussion but step in if things start to get to technical. Keep focus on those who are newer to the topic and have specific things they want to accomplish.
