[sudoroom] Oakland Cryptoparty at Sudoroom

[aestetix aestetix]

The thought is that it's for activists and the general public. We could
probably do a poll of some sort and see what level people are interested in
learning at, and set workshops at that point.

I find it's easier to give people a general introduction to things, and
then point at a more elaborate lesson online. For example, I could explain
the basic difference between classical and modern cryptography, and then
point them at Dan Boneh's (excellent!) free online cryptography class for
the more advanced lessons.

If multiple people are interested in giving talks, we could do a bunch of
smaller talks.... 20-30 minutes, giving an introduction to a tool and then
demonstrating it. Whatever works, the ultimate goal is to empower anyone
who wants to learn.
