Re: [ESD-translators] Slides for workshop in Prague

[Tomas Stary]

Hi Kate,

For the purpose of the workshop we would primarily like to target
journalists, but in fact anyone is welcome to join. We would like to
help to rise awareness about the importance of encryption. The required
technical skills are minimal, i.e. basic user knowledge. There should be
somewhere between 15-30 slides or as many as it is necessary and
feasible to go through in a 60-90 minutes workshop.

By the organisations I ment organisations like state inteligence etc.
(perhaps it is not the main point though).

Well done for the infographics! It's great you changed it to LaTeX, I'm
a big fan of the program and would definitely prefer the slides to be in
latex. I plan to start working on it whenever I find some time. Any
contributions and help would be highly appreciated.

Great point about the mobile encryption. This weekend I installed
OpenKeychain (Easy PGP) which is a free software encryption tool for
mobile (Replicant, Android, LinageOS) available from a free software
F-droid repository. It should be compatible with K-9 email client and
other application (like XMPP chat program Conversations). I have started
experimenting and hope to have a working PGP on my tablet (LineageOS) soon.

I am not stating an official FSF opinion, but I think that any
privacy-focused work is welcome, as long as it is based on a free
software. Both K-9 and OpenKeychain are free software, however Android
comes with pre-installed non-free packages. However, similarly to
Windows and Apple manuals, if we don't encourage their use, it should be
fine to provide manual to those who already use Android, but we
shouldn't forget those who already use Replicant.

All the best,

Tomas
