This has now been "organised".

When the time comes that you *need* to use cryptography, it will be too late
to learn. Technologies like Tor are not magic bullets, an individual user
alone stands out. The use of Tor also stands out and if a user starts to use
Tor, this stands out. Cryptonoise is about two things:

 1. to provide an oppertunity to learn about cryptographic technologies, and
 2. to provide an oppertunity to hide in the crowd.

Cryptonoise meetups provide a low barrier to entry to the use of
cryptography and learning about being safe online.

Our meeting will initially be in Cafe Nero on Union Street, every second
Tuesday starting on the 13th. The meeting will be from 5pm until 7pm.

If these times/dates are going to be consistently bad for you, you should
speak up. We are open to changes.

Iain.
