<div dir="ltr">Because people asked, here are things you should bring:<br><br>- Computer with GPG installed if it doesn't come with your OS: <a href="http://www.gnupg.org/download/">http://www.gnupg.org/download/</a>. Hopefully y'all use Linux, since I have no experience with the popular GPG front-ends for Mac (gpgtools) and Windows (gpg4win). But if everyone who shows up hates the command line, we can just use one of those for teaching purposes.<br>
<br>- Suggested: USB drive, preferably encrypted. Otherwise download Truecrypt onto your computer: <a href="http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads">http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads</a><br><br>- Suggested-if-you-have-one: hardware random number generator, like <a href="http://www.entropykey.co.uk/">http://www.entropykey.co.uk/</a><br>
<br>- A sense of adventure<br><br>- Some patience<br><br>- Friends! Ones who will sign your key after they make theirs! <br><br>Or just bring your smiling faces, that's fine too.<br><br>-Yan<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">

<div dir="ltr">Ok, looks like I'll be doing a GPG workshop at Noisebridge this Sunday, 4 pm!<br><br>I plan to quickly go through how to set up GPG and use it, explain best practices for common GPG operations, point out some weird GPG usability failure points, and then have a bunch of time open for questions. We can also discuss other things such as whether GPG is still worthwhile in the face of the NSA cryptopacalypse.<br>
<br>This would be mostly for GPG beginners with some technical background, but we can be flexible depending on who shows up. If you are a GPG super-expert, you can help teach!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div dir="ltr">I'd be up for running a GPG workshop at Noisebridge. I was thinking Saturday afternoon, with 1 hr for beginners and 1 hr for people who are more paranoid. <br><br>Tom Lowenthal and I had planned to do this a while ago, so I'll see if he's interested/available.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hey Noisebridge,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been thinking of using GPG for a long time, but have
only finally gotten around to sending my first few messages to
friends using it, and even as a fairly seasoned geek it still
feels like a pain to manage - which is bad, we should make
this stuff easy (easier?).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are there any folks out there with a bit more experience
who'd be willing to get together and work through some of this
stuff with a group? Even if using throwaway mail
addresses/identities, I think running through the process of
creating a new identity, generating subkeys,
sending/receiving, managing revocation of keys, etc might make
a lot more sense if done in person.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am totally willing to help in terms of preparing any
instructional material, finding folks interested, helping
people debug problems on the day, etc - but I don't feel like
I know enough about gpg yet to really 'run' a class/workshop
yet.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a sidenote, any tips for utilities etc to make things
easier would also be nice! gpa sounds like one possibility,
for example. Ideally I like the idea of using
easily-revocable subkeys with gpg as an app on my phone but
not sure how easy/feasible this is.</div>

Hey James,<br>
<br>
I heard that there's going to be another cryptoparty tomorrow at
Sudo Room in Oakland from 2pm to 5pm. I went to the cryptoparty last
month and there was a great workshop on setting up PGP/GPG for
e-mail. I think going to those workshops would be a good starting
point to setting up cryptoparties at Noisebridge.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
