MEETING: Cypherpunks May 11th San Francisco Bay Area Meeting

The monthly meeting of any Cypherpunks in the San Francisco Bay area will happen this Saturday May 11th, 12:00 noon till about dinner time (say 18:00, 6pm). We are going to try meeting in back of the Tresidder Union at Stanford University in the court yard (by the elevator tower). Tresidder Union is a little (peninsula) west of the Stanford main Quad, there is a parking lot just p-west of of the Union that you can park in on weekends. The best automotive access is from the west via Junipero Serra Blvd. (also called Foothill Expressway, Santa Cruz Ave & Alameda De Las Pulgus) into the 'back' of the Stanford Campus, look it up on a map folks. For some semi-useful maps try: http://www.stanford.edu/home/visitors/maps.html There is a chance we will get a room to meet in, in that case there will be a sign/person telling you where to go. If not there is a raised area in the court yard (under the tree) that will be the gathering area. In the case of rain (and no room) we will meet in the pub in the (peninsula) south west corner of the Union. If you have things you want to talk about at this meeting, or can help in some way please email me. ||ugh Daniel hugh@toad.com Vague Agenda: 12:00 Meeting intro, Hugh Daniel on Crypto GUI's and toolkits to build them.
