The August meeting of the San Francisco Bay Area Cypherpunks will be on Saturday, August 8 1998 from 12-6PM. This is an open meeting, as always, and the public is invited to attend. The meeting will be held in two sequential locations this month. We'll start with a tour of the recently announced Electronic Frontier Foundation "DES Cracker", hosted by the company which built its hardware. Please join us between noon and 2PM at: Advanced Wireless Technologies 3375 Scott Blvd #410 Santa Clara, CA 95054 +1 408 727 5780 http://www.mapblast.com/mapblast/blast.hm?CMD=MAP&GC=X%3A-121.98298%7CY%3A37.3812%7CLT%3A37.38063%7CLN%3A-121.98458%7CLS%3A20000%7Cc%3ASanta_Clara%7Cs%3ACA%7Cz%3A95054%7Cd%3A807%7Cp%3AUSA&LV=3&IC=37.3812%3A-121.98298&IC=100&IC%3A=AWT&IC=%3A%3A%3A%3A%3A%3A3A&GAD2=3375+Scott+Blvd+%23410&GAD3=Santa+Clara%2C+CA++95054-3110&W=500&H=350&MA=2 It's in a complex of small startups at the corner of Scott Blvd and Garrett Drive in Santa Clara. To reach it, take US 101 to the Bowers Avenue exit (heading south/oceanward), turn right in a few blocks on Scott Blvd, and turn right on Garrett. The first two driveways on the right serve the complex; AWT's corner of the parking lot is at the second. You can also come in via Lawrence Expressway; go east/SanJoseward on Arques Avenue (which becomes Scott Blvd) and turn left on Garrett. Autographed copies of the Cracking DES book will be available, and the machine will be running. There isn't a room large enough to have a sit-down meeting at AWT, so we'll reconvene at 2:30 at Stanford University, at the outdoor tables outside Tresidder Union, which is near the bookstore. The tables are on the west side, which is the inside of the U-shape. Coffee and food are available in the building. http://www.stanford.edu/home/map/search_map.html?keyword=&ACADEMIC=Tresidder+Union http://www.stanford.edu/home/map/stanford_zoom_map.html?234,312 Agenda: 12:00-2:00 at the machine location, then move to Stanford and reconvene at 2:30. Dinner at a mutually agreed location will probably follow. Speakers: Cracking DES - John Gilmore et al, 2:30 at Stanford "Private Doorbells" - John Bashinski, ~3:30 -- John Gilmore
