The idea was proposed in this thread, from Sept. 6:

You responded to it ;)

The name PRIVACYCON was suggested by someone at the meeting.

Great!

The first thing to do is flesh out our ideas a bit more.

THEN, we can go to groups (face to face) who might be interested in
partnering up.  A short starter list (please add to it):

* http://www.aclu-ia.org (Iowa ACLU)
* http://www.nra.org/nralocal.aspx (Find NRA near you)
* http://lpia.org (Libertarian Party of Iowa)
* http://greens.org/iowa/ (Green Party of Iowa)
* http://www.iowanorml.org (Iowa NORML)
* http://www.iasl-ia.org (Iowa Association of School Librarians)
* http://www.yaliberty.org/chapters/drake-university (Drake YAL)

So you could think about a group from that list, or choose one of your
own.  I'll be contacting groups in Ames.

Of course, our event will be _non-political_.  It will be "technical for
the non-technical."

You should come to the next meeting!

Thanks!  I think this event can be a big deal.  We've been reading
stories in the news for long enough now, and it's time to roll up our
sleeves and do something about it.
