Hi all, Heads-up on Cryptoparty Brisbane which will be held next Wednesday 24th June, 6pm, at the Normanby Hotel, hosted by Thoughtworks. http://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/cryptoparty-brisbane-registration-17314654598 The Snowden revelations have shown that when it comes to government surveillance, no one is off-limits. We have also learned that some encryption tools still work. Encrypting gives you the choice of protecting not just your privacy and communications, but also your friends, colleagues, sources, clients, peers and family. At this training you will learn about VPNs, secure tools for your phone, as well as Tor, OTR, and the big one: PGP. Bring your phone and laptop. Registrations are only being used to track attendance levels against the capacity of our venue. Eventbrite will record your name. If that's a concern, feel free to register pseudonymously. Even if you are already doing all of the crypto things, I hope you will consider coming along to meet and assist other likeminded citizens. Cheers, Fraser P.S. my sincere apologies for a lack of organising meetups over recent months! Life is so hectic...
