[sudoroom] Oakland Cryptoparty at Sudoroom

[Garrett Robinson]

This sounds like a great idea! I'm interested in helping with planning
and maybe holding workshops. I've been working on crypto/security
materials for activists for a project for some time - this sounds like
the perfect excuse to get those finished up and maybe test them on
some unwitting guinea pigs...

I could make time this weekend for a planning meeting.
