Cryptoparty Main Topic

Cryptoparty crew will be at LibrePlanet this weekend

The Free Software Foundation’s annual conference, LibrePlanet, is this weekend and a number of Pirates will be there.

The privacy activists on our cryptoparty mailing list will be teaching people how to protect their privacy at the cryptoparty table. They will be there at least noon-3pm both days, so drop by and say hi.
