Zooko |zooko| is looking to host a celebratory party in Boulder, CO and there is talk of a party at `Noisebridge`_ for those in the San Francisco area. I will be doing something in the Kansas City, MO area for those who are interested. How do you think we should celebrate? .. _`Noisebridge`: https://www.noisebridge.net/ Cryptoparty - ----------- `Cryptoparty`_ has sprung up as a grass roots movement to bring cryptography to the people. Topics covered range from Tor to GPG to OTR. However, one topic which I haven't noticed at any of the parties was mention of Tahoe-LAFS. This prevents a great opportunity for us to introduce Tahoe-LAFS to the uninitiated. I am willing to help cover Tahoe at the Kansas City cryptoparty. Anyone else with me? .. _`Cryptoparty`: http://www.cryptoparty.org/wiki/CryptoParty Glowing Quotes ============== “Tahoe-LAFS is an amazing piece of work!” — Pål Ruud Tahoe-LAFS on Twitter ===================== Tahoe-LAFS mentioned in the keynote at the world's foremost crypto conference! “The End of Crypto”—Jonathan Zittrain https://bit.ly/ShkJ14 [`0`_] #privacy #crypto MT @zooko Tahoe-LAFS appears as one point of light in an otherwise grim big picture. http://bit.ly/ShkJ14 [`1`_] @msimoni Tahoe-lafs goes at storage and its management indirectly; securing data is where it excels.
