As usual, this is an open public meeting on US soil. Please leave the US soil outside :-) RSA has released the RSA patent to the public domain two weeks early, so bring code! There will still be a party around 9/20-9/23. Whit Diffie and Dave Del Torto will speak at an EFF meeting Mon 9/11 7:30pm at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in Burlingame. Details http://www.eff.org/EFF/BayFF/ will be posted soon. Location Most of the online maps provide unreliable directions, so use the attached. I find the drive takes about 30 minutes from Mountain View or 15-20 from the 280/17 intersection except during heavy traffic; parking is country roads and dirt driveways.
