[HacktionLab] HacktionLab Gathering 15th-16th November

[Mike Harris]

Chatting to Mick today we came up with the idea of having the Saturday
afternoon as an open session on privacy issues, mainly with the aim of
getting people using GPG, Tor, I2P, Cryptocat, Tails, etc. 

So I was thinking a
bring-along-your-laptop(-or-desktop-I-guess)-and-get-it-set-up
workshop/clinic with also some sort of introduction. 

We thought also that screening that recent, okayish, Horizon documentary
might be a good introduction for the uninitiated.

That'll give the gathering a focus and a wider-ish appeal, with
something we can offer to anyone interested in the local community.

How does that sound?
