That's true, email is more like a postcard, than a letter in an
envelope. But it's worse, since unlike postcards, the emails are easy to
copy and store automatically on the spies' servers to be analysed by
computer.

The text is in the svg files that can be easily modified by inkscape.
I've noticed that manual tinkering with the text frames is required in
order for the text to flow nicely, which would probably be also the case
with the frames in the tex document. But if you would like to take the
effort to change it into latex, why not...

The text is identical with the original version of the infographic. I
think the po4a-translate should work on that.

It's going to be organised in the local hackerspace following the esd
workshop guide [1]. It would be great to create slides for that
occasion, that could be recycled for similar workshops in other places.
I think that the slides should include some motivation why the
encryption is important (possibly with stories, sources and reference to
NSA leaks), then guide with settings of enigmail, description on how to
do key-signing and setting of the trust and revocation certificate
backup. Would contributing to the slides be something that interests you
as well?
