Open Space Session ideas
Here are some ideas we've had already. Please contribute gender ideas here, or bounch them around on the Mailing List.
- Privacy Workshop - talk on recent events and then workshop on getting GPG, Tor, I2P, Tails, etc up and running.
- Let's hack the 1in12's web site into shape
- Left tech - there's a lot of left-behind tech kicking around at the 1in12. Is it any user? What's it for? Has someone a use for it?
- Choosing a hosting provider.
- Sharing session on experiences with different hosting providers, both commercial and community, across different legal jurisdictions
- Hardening your web server and email server security: Cipher selection under TLS for various protocols
- For web servers
- For SMTP/IMAP/POP3/XMPP
- Can we forget Windows XP yet ?
- Verifying certificates on SMTP transports with exim/postfix
- How do you know that your email is delivered to the recipient you think it was without tampering ? STARTTLS can encrypt email in transit, but to whom!
- GPG
- Yes the keysigning
- "how to use gpg like a pro" AKA https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices
- Use of schleuder ( a gpg remailer )
- Schleuder is a gpg mailing list software that can act as a remailer and contact front for a group of people. It uses GPG to secure messages internally and can be configured for a number of uses cases such as
- Secure internal communications
- anonymising communications from internal parties to external ones.

Here's where we'll post the agenda/minutes during the event live as they unfold
Are you coming?
The lovely people at the 1 in 12 club need to have a rough estimate of numbers so they buy enough carrots and other food to go round. There's a table here that you can use to reserve your carrot.
