PARTY LIKE IT'S 1984!!1

We're having monthly cryptoparties from 2-5pm every Third Sunday at Sudo Room, a hackerspace in Oakland located at 2141 Broadway (two blocks from the 19th St Oakland BART!). The next one is this Sunday!

• Learn security techniques & software. • Understand why responsible security is important. • Meet with other proactive residents!

We'll have talks on why digital security matters, mobile phone security, GPG and encrypted email, OTR (secure chat), and SSL / perfect forward security.

Bring your laptop! Bring your phone!

All skill levels welcome, from novice to expert!

I love the flyer from the previous party: "party like it's 1984"
Yeah, I'll be MC'ing and telling people how to be scared of things they didn't even know about. Come!
This hackerspace is awesome. 1 block from BART, lots of smart members (including many EFF folks) from a unique intersection of communities, attempting ambitiously to be horizontal, do-o-cratic and inclusive. Support this if you can!
Last month's cryptopary had a really diverse, really excellent turnout. These will continue to happen every 3rd Sunday. Bring a friend, share the knowledge :)
Why is yardc's post [dead]?
I'll definitely be there.
