Re-Salutations, For those who can't get to the web page <http://www.pgp.com/961214.html> for one reason or another, the Cypherpunks December 96 Physical Meeting being hosted by PGP Inc is scheduled for: Saturday 14 December, 11am-5pm PST. My apologies for not being specific in the previous SMTP version. Reminder: _please_ RSVP ASAP as follows: <mailto:ddt@pgp.com?subject=cpunks-mtg-rsvp> That's a reply to this mail/address with the subject: "cpunks-mtg-rsvp" (no quotes). Thanks to all who've RSVP in compliance with this request so far: I'm no longer worried about being there alone. ;) Note: since there is a limit to the number of people we can fit in this meeting room (above which the Sofitel will no longer "look the other way"), as soon as we go over 100 RSVP's I'll post a notice (this evening, at this rate). We certainly don't want to discourage anyone from showing up, but be aware that there are physical limits involved, so let us know ASAP. dave PS: Here's a TEXT version of the most up-to-date web content: ................................. cut here ................................. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Cypherpunks December 1996 Physical Meeting [text version] hosted by Pretty Good Privacy, Inc.

Various software and public-interest issues may be discussed. The final agenda for the December meeting will be announced at the meeting based on agenda items submitted by email (see below). The Cypherpunks December 96 Physical Meeting is being hosted by Pretty Good Privacy, Inc in a meeting room at the Hotel Sofitel (see below) that can accomodate up to 100 people. There will be refreshments/snacks, and I think this qualifies as a "cypherpunk milestone" of sorts, so we hope lots of people show up. The meeting has been advertised through numerous Internet resources and in the print media (SJMN Classified Notices 12/7 & 12/8). Please contact me for general information, or to submit an item for the meeting's agenda. Agenda items must be submitted by email with a brief textual summary which should specify any computer or AV equipment needed. The deadline for agenda item requests/proposals is 11:59 PM Thursday 12 December. Dave Del Torto (December chairperson) <ddt@pgp.com> ________________________________________ NOTES Please RSVP! Please RSVP if you plan to attend. Tell/bring your friends as well. PGP Inc has rented a meeting room (plus amenities) that can accomodate up to 100 people for the meeting. Besides the maximum capacity restrictions on the meeting room (fire codes), it's important that we have an idea of how many people plan to attend as soon as possible before the meeting, because we're also arranging for refreshments/snacks (you do not need to bring anything to eat/drink this time). Thank you for your consideration. Demos If you want to make a Cypherpunks-related presentation or demo software/etc at the meeting, please notify the chairperson before the meeting. (ASAP!) Everyone with something to say or show is encouraged to bring/show it (even stuff that's already been demoed before but which has been updated). The cutoff date for demo reservations is also 11:59 PM Thursday 12 December. We can try to have the equipment you might need ready if you list what you need in detail (and early): otherwise, bring your own equipment. Though we'll do our best to accomodate everyone, if you wait until the last minute, there may not be room for you unless you have something very simple/brief, so please bear that in mind. There will be overhead projector for transparencies and an RGB projector for laptops. Net connections (analog modem, ISDN) can be arranged with enough advance notice. Right now, we have not arranged anything beyond a Metricom modem (28.8Kbps), but we can arrange an analog modem line or even an ISDN if there's a specific need. Tell me soon(!). Handouts/Raffle Paper handouts are welcome: please give me your stack for the handout table when you arrive. There will be door-prizes from PGP, but supplies will be limited if 100 people show up. We will also to raffle off some PGP software (ViaCrypt stuff, upgradable when our new versions arrive). PGP Key Exchange Bring a printout of/screen with your PGP key fingerprint. Or a diskette version if you want to have it signed (or both). We'll have a "key exchange moment" at the end of the meeting to faciitate expansion of the PGP Web of Trust. Meeting Time Meeting time is 11 AM to 5 PM. This is slightly earlier than usual for a Cypherpunks meeting because we have to be out of the meeting room shortly after 5 PM (so a wedding can be set up), but we can meet in small informal groups in the hotel lobby/bar after the meeting. PGP/MIME BOF at the IETF The IETF's PGP/MIME BOF is the previous morning: Friday 13 Dec, 9:00-11:30 AM (Crystal Room, Fairmont Hotel, 170 South Market St. in Downtown San Jose, 408.998.1900 main). Remember: it's a "Birds Of a Feather" session on the last day of the IETF conference (make of that what you will). Please come by if you want to help support RFC 2015 so PGP/MIME can take the next step toward IETF Working Group discussion so we can eventually move it further along the IETF Standards Track. Anyone who's at the IETF is of course encouraged to stay over until Saturday and come to the Cypherpunks meeting too! PGP Engineers PGP's engineering staff is being encouraged to attend the Cypherpunks meeting: not to compromise trade secrets or strategic plans, but to listen to, and/or answer if possible, reasonable questions/bug-reports/feature requests/etc. Persons interested in employment opportunities at PGP Inc are also encouraged to attend and bring a resume/diskette/etc. Directions to the Meeting The Sofitel is just off Twin Dolphin Drive a few blocks south of Oracle's silvery towers (hard to miss).
