Summary

Together Boston Cryptoparty. Good discussion, but a smaller turnout than last year. Covered Jitsi, OTR, key signing. Next year, plan to set up a mesh network for together boston. Next year, we should also put more effort into promotion.

Left Forum. Pirate party got a mention during a panel on internet and surveillance. Occupy Oakland's privacy working group gave a good talk on FOIA, public records, and Oakland's Domain Awareness Center.
