[FSFE-Manc] Free copy of The Silent State book
by Ash Moran 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

Hi folks I was just making room on an already full bookshelf for a Christmas present and found a copy of The Silent State[1] which I got for free, I’m pretty for being an ORG member. I’m not that much into politics though so I doubt I’ll read it any time soon. If anyone would like it to read and pass around just shout. I can always drop it off at the next meetup (which I’m guessing will be on the 6th at the same time as Bitcoin Mcr). Maybe everyone here has also got a copy and/or read it already? :) Cheers Ash [1] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silent-State-Secrets-Surveillance-Democracy/dp/0099…

[FSFE-Manc] Notes on hosting a Cryptoparty
by Simon Ward 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

I went to the Chaos Communication Congress (30C3)[1]. There were a number of interesting talks, videos of which can be found online[2]. Of particular interest, though one event I didn't go to, is the cryptoparty workshop[3]. Towards the bottom of the page is a link to a pad containing notes from the session.

A x -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Radical tech event needs your support (Manchester) Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2013 23:49:54 +0000 From: Loz Kaye <l.kaye(a)pirateparty.org.uk> Organisation: Pirate Party UK To: Anna Morris <gingerling(a)inventati.org> Hello, Thanks.

[FSFE-Manc] Crowd Funding a GPG Manual for Small Businesses - can you donate and share?
by Anna Morris 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

There is a brand new crowd funding campaign for a Crypto manual aimed at small business: http://funding.openinitiative.com/funding/1903/ The campaign launched today on a new Free Software crowd-funding site called Open Funding, and the text will be on a GPL license so it can be reused and shared freely (and the book will feed back into the Floss Manual about email Encryption too) You can donate €1 or more to the manual, and even chose which chapter you would like to fund the most! Then you get to read the manual and suggest improvements/changes before you finalize your donation :) I blogged it out here: http://blogs.fsfe.org/anna.morris/2013/12/13/crowd-funding-gpg-manual-chape… with a discussion about Crowd Funding and Free Software such as GIMP. Please share it with your friends, blogs, social media etc - it's gonna be a great project! :) Best Anna
