Summary
Chelsea Manning standout. Good event, despite the cold and rainy weather. Steve and Jamie both spoke. We were able to drum up some interest for the 12/28 cryptoparty.
Havard Library Cryptoparty. The organizers set up a series of stations, and participants could move around between them. Might be nice to try this at one of our cryptoparties.
