> I am glad to announce you that we organize a cryptoparty in Rennes,
> France in the of February: https://biblio.insa-rennes.fr/crypto/
> 
> This event is organized by University Rennes 1 and INSA engineering
> school libraries. This is important for us to show that tools like Tor,
> Tails, PGP are fully legal, and that organizing those kind of events in
> public schools is possible. We believe that offering people education to
> those tools is fully part of public schools and libraries missions.

> This is the third edition, and the second I am involved in. We had about
> 150+ participants last year and expect to have even more this year. The
> event will start with a conference, we will have an install party, some
> workshops (Tails, Tor, PGP, browser fingerprinting, password security
> training ...), discussions, teasing events around the city in social
> sciences university, art school, press club ... and maybe if we find
> somebody to do it, a Tails contribution workshop [1].
> 
> This event is part of a larger initiative that we are trying to setup
> with Chloé and Damien (ccd) who are librarians and are doing much of the
> work here (I am just giving them a hand like a few others). We also
> created a mailing list (kindly hosted by the french NREN) to discuss why
> and how to organize those kind of events in libraries and public
> schools. For example, we managed to have an official, written and
> publicly archived authorization to use Tor and Tails in the University:

> If I may, I would like to kindly ask you to help us to spread the word
> about our initiative, forwarding this mail to the relevant mailing lists
> (we cannot subscribe to all of them), sharing things we put on  our
> twitter account https://twitter.com/CryptoPartyRNS, in order to  help us
> to make our event a success, and even more important, to  convince
> people to replicate what we are trying to do.
