Summary
HOPE Conference. Nice turnout for H and BenC's cryptoparty. Did a 90 minute spot on Radio Statler. Partial recording at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvKmzMx5cd8. ~20 people came to Jamie's (unscheduled) talk on CCTV camera mapping. Had a talk with someone who was planning to organize a pirate party in SFO -- he had some interesting ideas for local organizing: advocate Free software to safe on licensing costs, and use public records requests to expose corruption. Like Massachusetts, SFO has a one-party system.
IPT response. We discuss draft copy of the response, and apply some minor edits. Steve will submit response later this week.
Aaron James campaign will be door-knocking Saturday at 4pm. https://www.facebook.com/events/496359393903288/. Meet at Diesel Café in davis square.
