Versus News Cryptoparty. Topic: GnuPG, media activism, freedom of press. Role of press in protecting whistleblowers. Need flyer.

2014 Campaign. Igel, Bluestreak, JCFiero looking at maps. js0000 trying to get voter registration app running on heroku.

Don't Trade US Week. Bluestreak got a button maker. Lots going on in December. Perhaps this can be our first campaign for 2014.
