Summary

International Day Against DRM is scheduled for 11:30am Tuesday outside MIT STATA center.

Discussed past events:

• Security Training at the Co-op DiscoTech taught PGP, but wasn't as well attended as would have hoped. Good conversations. Worthwhile attending.
• Middlesex Community College Cryptoparty went well. Taught three people to at least use mailvelope.
