[sudo-discuss] Crypto parties

[Jenny Ryan]

Awesome! Happy to see these rebooting. Thanks Jehan for holding it down!

Just a reminder that there's a wiki page with links, resources, and past
cryptoparty meeting notes here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Cryptoparty

It would be great if folks who are current with knowledge of available
tools could update the resources and handouts. I brought in a new toner
cartridge for the brother printer on the platform in sudo but haven't
installed it yet. There's also a piratebox floating around somewhere in the
space with software that will also need to be updated, but can be quite
useful when multiple people are needing to download large applications
simultaneously (from what I can remember, it has Thunderbird, Enigmail, and
Tails for multiple OS's).
