Message-ID: <52A7524F.1050208@fsf.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm Zak Rogoff, a campaigners manager at the FSF. I thought I'd reach out and let you know that we are in the beginning stages of creating a GnuPG getting-started tutorial, and ask for your advice and suggestions. The goal would be to get more people involved in encryption, and to widely publicize the importance of free software to security. We plan to make a graphical guide that is as inviting and easy to use as possible for people running different operating systems. We plan for the guide to explain how to set up and use Enigmail in Thunderbird, since that seems to be the easiest and most generalizable method. We know there are lots of excellent guides out there already, and we are drawing on them for inspiration as we design our own. Our goal is to incorporate elements from existing guides, but use graphics more than others, to make the experience even more welcoming and approachable for beginners. Since people are very conscious of surveillance right now, we expect there will be a lot of interest. I would love to hear any thoughts, feedback or suggestions you have, now and once there is a draft to share. I've also been in contact with Werner, Sam and Robert, who let me know about this list. Thanks for all you do. - -- Zak Rogoff Campaigns Manager Free Software Foundation GPG ID: B5090AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSp1JKAAoJEILejWS1CQrIyYgIAIcTqkuY8jniXbSPsqBjY3no liJuZFnRf+jS7I5b23YUzfiKKlXHMAvocRfiu+M6fYluipcwVwlB3KHnz8SBTN7B /oO1w2mr+YLX0Tecsqzj1oX0HEJ4nUcPbkNjq0FS+FjAGcvJ/ODJf8f4h+wMkC4r l1DX12AwWxqBcjFmNX3nPMFtmqnWs4H2HQSVe19Gzrf+SSeTafEKnZ0wXqAF0fC8 djUQIrcCQD7Bv7Szkj8KEIfGCQhq3C3RK8f4BdFSYoL+RjIo20w7KF5vp5cUnWDd p+7WVoWMdW9Yb+2HwJdgAliaOZcA868zZ/ObufdCx/jtdesSuiAtuSOXd/s+/H0= =2M6l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
