I'm definitely down to meet at Noisebridge for Tahoe's birthday, and also do Tahoe-LAFS evangelism at Cryptoparties thrown at Noisebridge ;)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 4:06 PM, Patrick R McDonald <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:marlowe@antagonism.org" target="_blank">marlowe@antagonism.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Tahoe-LAFS Turning Six<br>
- ----------------------<br>
On Oct 22, 2012, Tahoe-LAFS will turn six (6) years old. Zooko |zooko|<br>
is looking to host a celebratory party in Boulder, CO and there is talk<br>
of a party at `Noisebridge`_ for those in the San Francisco area. I<br>
will be doing something in the Kansas City, MO area for those who are<br>
interested. How do you think we should celebrate?<br>

<br>
Cryptoparty<br>
- -----------<br>
<br>
`Cryptoparty`_ has sprung up as a grass roots movement to bring<br>
cryptography to the people. Topics covered range from Tor to GPG to<br>
OTR. However, one topic which I haven't noticed at any of the parties<br>
was mention of Tahoe-LAFS. This prevents a great opportunity for us to<br>
introduce Tahoe-LAFS to the uninitiated. I am willing to help cover<br>
Tahoe at the Kansas City cryptoparty. Anyone else with me?<br>
