[FSFE-Manc] Last nights CryptopParty planning meeting - even schedule 1.0
by Anna Morris 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Hey, it was great to see Ben, Mark, (FSFE-Mcr) Ash (Bitcoin Manchester) and Tom (ORG Manchester) at the planning meeting last night, with apologies from Mick Fuzz. It's so great to be collaborating with different people and groups, I think we have a really good thing going on right now :) So... You can sign up for the CryptoParty here: https://www.eventbrite.com/event/9167619597 and below is the current shape of the event schedule. (L) is for if you can lead the workshop and (H) is for if you can just help, but are not willing/able to lead it. *Schedule on the day:* * 1:30 Meet and greet with refreshments * 2:00 3 quarters of an hour intro * Intro to why cryptography * Asymmetric encryption - including game based explanations * High level intro to OpenPG * 2:45 break * 3:00 - workshops 1 * OpenPGP * OTR (on mobile) - Anna (H) * 3:45 break * 4:00 - workshops 2 * OTR for pidgin/Adium etc. - Anna (H) * TLS/SSL basic intro- Ben (L) * BitCoin - Ash (L) * 4:45 Break * 5:00 - workshops 3 * TLS/SSL you think you know what the padlocks - Ben (L?) * Tor - Mick (L?) * Escaping Google- Anna (V/L) * 6:00 * Closing segment * Keysigning Party For more notes please see the pad https://pad.fsfe.org/p/cryptoparty-mcr As you can see we are now at the stage where people need to sign up to run workshops. Ideally we need a lead (L) and several helpers (H) for each, so please add your name with and H if you just want to assist. Also note that each workshop will break down further into device based groups where needed. We have used Event-Brite (any complaints addressed to me personally if you please) and when people sign up they will be asked to specify the device they will bring, this will help us make sure we have enough people for each device type :) Fliers will be ready soon (by Anna) but *we now URGENTLY need help with the website.* We need to change to a better theme (the one we have is old and spaghetti code central) and we need some design work to make it pretty. Its going well folks, so EXCITING! Lots of Love Anna M

Hi, the website is slowly being built http://www.cryptoparty-mcr.org/ and more ideas are being added to the pad https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/cryptoparty-mcr Can people start writing text for the site please, including a little "about me" bit for people who would like to run workshops. It really helps get in new people if they can see a friendly face on line :) Email me if you want a wp log in, if not, just add text on the pad and I can post it on the site Its going well guys, keep it up!

[FSFE-Manc] Text for fliers and websites
by Anna Morris 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi, any last min suggestions or problems with the text before I put it together in inkscape? When we stand at a cash machine or the reception desk of the doctors surgery, we expect people to keep their distance. When we work on our laptops, text our friends or read a book in a public place - we don't want people to lean over our shoulders. When we sit and talk in a café or on the train, we feel uncomfortable if someone is listening too intently. In the physical world we expect normal, every-day privacy... so why do those same rules not apply on-line? If you would like to learn how to ensure normal, every-day privacy when using your computer, tablet or mobile phone, then come to CryptoParty-Mcr. You can learn simple and effective ways to encrypt your emails and chat, and how to browse the internet anonymously in workshops about your Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android devices. By using encryption, you will protect your privacy, and help to protect the privacy of others, including political and environmental activists from all around the world. Date 7th of December Location Madlab Bring: your phone, laptop, tablet and or netbook. www.cryptoparty-mcr.org.uk Cake will be provided. Thanks Anna

I have tried a few more things, I don't like any of them. :S At the moment it is pink with pixelation and a grey tinge. I did the same with black but it was too doooom and gloooom. How is best to send the svg's etc to you all? Anna
