[Ssc-dev] GP at #WSJData !

[Nathan of Guardian]

Big thanks to Lee, Harlo and Mark for their participation at the Wall
Street Journal data hackathon this weekend.

OSTel won the "Soup Cans and String" award, but more importantly it got
on the radar with a large group of privacy and security developers and
advocates:

InformaCam made a great showing, and Harlo and I had a few hours to work
through some issues. I think she even received in invitation to speak
somewhere, if I remember correctly.

I abandoned both efforts in order to 1) ship Gibberbot v8 RC1 and 2)
build a semi-native Android app for Cryptocat, a new take on secure
multi-party chat:

Now everyone take Monday off and go outside to enjoy the beautiful weather!
