[Noisebridge-discuss] Intro to Crypto course

[Trent Robbins]

Hi all,

Monday is a great night to meet! Be forewarned that the whole space is
pretty full at that time on Monday. It may or may not be the level of noise
you want so I think it is best to just give it a shot unless you know you
want a quieter environment.

Trent
