Am 18. Feb, 2017 schwätzte Caryl Bigenho so:

moin moin Caryl,

did you get a morning slot worked out?

ciao,

We would just like to keep our personal cell phones relatively secure and our internet browsing private as much as possible. That is probably all we could cover in an hour and a half or so anyway.

I can probably get some people who are using Signal to help do something on that.  I just installed Badger on Chrome but I’m not sure how much that does for me yet.

> Can we get a room to do it in the AM? Can it be near the Keynote (and a restroom) so people who don’t want to miss that will have time to get there?
