Summary

Annoy legislators for freedom talk went well. Jamie recorded the talk and is uploading it to youtube.

Libreplanet. Nice turnout for Sunday Cryptotable. Steve pitched running for office during a Lightning talk on Saturday. Learned that DoD is starting to experiment with FOSS. See http://code.mil/

Monday cryptoparty had a good turn out.

Piratecon schedule. We had lots of talk proposals. We found a way to get everyone in. We'll have seven 45-minutes slots, with a five minute break between each slot. Plus lightning talks. See PirateCon 2017 Topics for talk groupings.
