Subject: DC meeting Date: Thu, 22 Apr 93 16:20:50 EDT From: dstalder@gmuvax2.gmu.edu (Darren/Torin/Who ever...)

This is to announce a DC area cypherpunks meeting on Monday 26 April at 1800 (or so) until whenever at my office. Call me or write me for info on how to get here...

A couple of things: - I was reading mail to post my announcement, when I read yours :-) - I'm more than willing to defer to the majority, though I think there's something to be said for networking the meetings, especially if we have good tools. I've also already received a great deal of response to the idea of a Saturday meeting, even from out-of-towners. To that end, I'm going to post an announcement for a Saturday meeting, and see what happens. Several of us have been planning it for a couple of days now, so don't take it personally or anything. - Paul Ferguson and a couple of others and I have been cobbling together a list of people we thought would be interested in meeting in the DC area, so as to do preliminary planning without polluting Cypherpunks too much. I can see that there are more DC area people than I had originally envisioned, which makes me happy. Sorry if we missed you originally. - Eric and I have discussed the idea of audio teleconferencing the various meetings, either via the Internet or by phone. I've got both a Sun IPC equipped to do the former, and a Western Electric conference telephone (and 6- way on my switch) for the latter. Well readers, which do you prefer? --Strat Help stop the wiretap chip! (a.k.a "Clipper") RIPEM and PGP keys available on request.
