Hi Everyone,
I just thought I'd introduce myself as I'll be helping Anna organise the Cryptoparty in December.
My name's Olivia Jardine and I'm an intern at Open Rights Group, which is a UK-based organisation campaigning to defend our rights on the internet.
I've made a meetup page for the ORG Manchester group, so please feel free to join it and let me know if you'd like me to add anything to the event details.

Best Wishes, Olivia
Hi Olivia - great to meet you! :) We are jamming making the website beautiful over the next few days - such fun ;)
Best
Anna

Hi Olivia and everyone,
I've been thinking about different things that we can offer to people who are offering to help.
I'm thinking if we and provide good follow up resources via web pages and pdfs that is useful.
I've got a few things up my sleeves, and I'll try to list them. Maybe there is a space where we can work on it together. Most of the links to the printable resources are to FLOSS Manuals where on the left menu you will see a epub / pdf link for printable resources.
Obviously you could do much more but here's my top 9 so far!! It might be nice to discuss what ones are missing and what priority people would put on these tools.
nice one Mick
