I hope perhaps you might come too Max? I hope you don't mind me adding/inviting you to this list (not sure what it does exactly) - it will make it easier for us to plan the event if everyone is on the same list :)Welcome to the Manchester(a)lists.fsfe.org mailing list! Hi Anna and everyone Sorry for the slow reply. It was nice to meet you all the other day. I spoke to Max and he’s really keen on taking part in this. I didn’t forward him the list details as he’s quite busy and I don’t imagine he can keep up with this list right now. Regarding content, I suggested to Max using some old slides I did as a starting point: http://aviewfromafar.net/the-barcampers-guide-to-bitcoin There are things I want to improve in them anyway (especially regarding how the blockchain works, as I pinched some diagrams of Wikipedia or whatever that aren’t very clear). I thought I’d ask for opinions here as well though. Does anyone have any thoughts on these slides, anything they think needs adding/removing/changing to fit the event better? Also it’s Bitcoin Manchester on the 20th (not announced yet), but I’ll tell everybody about the CryptoParty there and see if anyone else is interested in helping out in some way. Cheers Ash

[FSFE-Manc] ORG meetup group attendees for CryptoParty
by Tom Chiverton 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

People who signed up on the ORG meet up site should have just got an email inviting them to register on the main site so that we get an idea of numbers, knowledge and what IT kit it coming along. Do we have a firm session time table now ? -- Tom War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery. Trust the computer.

Hi, so we have some going to the anarchist book fair tomorrow c/o Chris, some in the post to Max, I will do the northern quarter, mick said he can do some on oxford road. That leaves libraries and suburbs to do. The science museum might be a good place too. Anyone have any more ideas? A x

[FSFE-Manc] Date/venue confirmed?
by Ash Moran 21 Nov '13

Hi I was just about to tweet about the CryptoParty from @bitcoin_mcr but I can’t see it on the MadLab site. Is there any reason for that? Seems to be getting quite close to the event to not have it listed. Cheers Ash

[FSFE-Manc] To Do: getting urgent (flyers coming!)
by Anna Morris 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hey, our leaflets were printed to day, I will be getting them tomorrow - can anyone who wants some email me their address. Once the fliers are out there we will need to start pushing promotion, and the website needs to be ready. I have done a few more hours of stuff just now, but we still need a) the software page sorting out - https://pad.fsfe.org/p/cryptoparty-mcr b) the videos page sorting out - https://pad.fsfe.org/p/cryptoparty-mcr c) a list of workshops publishing - https://pad.fsfe.org/p/cryptoparty-mcr d) everyone needs to put their name and bio on the people page (this is really important) Please, if you can, can you spend just 20 mins each working on this between now and wed evening and so we will be ready to go :) We are getting some good twitter interaction and the news about the event will go out to wider ORG circles and EFF circles this week A x

[FSFE-Manc] Final Flyers for Approval - and budget for them?
by Anna Morris 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hi, here they are (in a low-res version to get through the list filters lol) Can people let me know if they are happy or not? Also, how many do we want? We were going to get 5000 when we were handing them out at the demo in Manchester - however I guess we need a few less now! Also, we had budgeted £100 for the printing but if we could use some of that for venue costs that would be good. The £50 we have budgeted for only gets us the ground floor, but that only makes for 30 people in a workshop setting. It's possible we will need both floors... but they want £150 for that. I am not sure what to make of the cost really. I want to support madlab... however, at that price we could hire the friends meeting house which is much posher, easier to find and more central. Gone are the days of free weekend venue's it seems! A x
