 +==== Keeping in touch ====
  
-===== CryptoParty on October 21st, 2014 =====+We agreed on Oct 21st that we would use the [[http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/durham|Durham LUG mailing list]] to communicate and organise until someone suggests something better. Non-linux-users are most welcome. If you want to get involved, subscribe to that list and tell us why you're here. Say that Bob sent you ;-)
  
-----+Update on March 4th 2016: there is a discussion about a cryptoparty in the North East happening on the [[https://lists.openrightsgroup.org/listinfo/org-northeast|Open Rights Group NE list]] and on [[:newcastle|this page]]
  
-**Welcome to the organising page for the Durham CryptoParty.**+==== Future CryptoParties ====
  
-[[https://network23.org/dfs3/events/durham-cryptoparty/|Book your place now]]  <- This will not record anything about you other than what you write in the form. You can use a pseudonym.+Times & places be announced soon, here or [[:newcastle|here]].
  
-Please book yourself a place if you intend to be there on the night in any capacity, so we don't overcrowd the room. If we get fully booked we'll think about putting on another event for anyone who we couldnt' fit in.+Here are some ideas for talks, demos etc. that people have offered already (please add yourself if you have something relevant to offer)
  
-There is no charge for attendance. We have been given free use of a room on the understanding that we will be buying drinks at the bar which is open from 7.30PM.+^Topic ^Person |

-==== What is CryptoParty? ==== +==== Past CryptoParties ====
-{{:cp-logo-200x67.png?nolink |}} +
- +
-Attend this CryptoParty to learn and teach how to use basic cryptography tools. A CryptoParty is free, public and fun. People bring their computers, mobile devices, and a willingness to learn! **CryptoParty** is a decentralized, global initiative to introduce the most basic cryptography software and the fundamental concepts of their operation to the general public, such as the Tor anonymity network, public key encryption (PGP/GPG), and OTR (Off The Record messaging). +
- +
-CryptoParties are free to attend, public, and commercially and politically non-aligned. (see the [[guiding_principles|guiding principles]]) +
- +
-=== Who should come? === +
- +
-Anyone who wants to learn about, or share their skills about, basic cryptographic software. That means the kind of program that can keep your personal information private, if you use it properly. So if you don't like the idea of strangers looking at your personal things, and you use a computer, this is for you. +
- +
-=== Who is organising this? === +
- +
-The event has been instigated by some members of Durham Linux User Group, however the event is open to users of all computer systems. We're offering this event as a service to the community, because we think it's important that people should be able to protect their privacy (it is a human right, after all) and because it's fun :) +
- +
-We are also reaching out to some other local groups in the hope of involving them. If you have knowledge of a non-*nix system and are able to help people use simply encryption tools on it, please make yourself known (use an alias if you like) in the [[:durham#volunteers]] section below. +
- +
-=== What should I do before I come? === +
- +
-This website you're reading now has loads of useful information on it. Have a look at the [[documentation]] and see what you make of it. If you find it easy, you can come along and help people who didn't find it easy. We can all learn something from each other. +
- +
-==== Now the organising section... ==== +
- +
-Nobody is in charge so dive in and make it happen +
- +

- +

-  * Venue: Classroom at the [[http://www.durham-arc.org.uk/|Durham Amateur Rowing Club]] +
-  * Time: 7.30pm to 10.30pm +
-  * Desk space and chairs for up to 30 people +

-I think the main plan is to hang loose and show each other cool stuff. However if lots of people turn up needing a basic overview of a topic, it would be cool to have a 5-minute presentation prepared, would it not? There are [[spread:slides]] already on this wiki for us to use. Could folks nominate themselves here / add your offer to the list, or take one of these: +
