Yes I agree its important to gain consent. I have already had a
request from another photo-journalist to come and I informed him
that all are welcome at the monthly CryptoParties however he must
gain consent before any pictures are taken. I also make myself
available for OTR CryptoParties and more private sessions to those
who are trying to be more discreet since meeting at an open public
event might be too risky. At a session like that journalists would
be barred.<br>
<br>
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I guess I just felt that
since these are publicly held meetings vs. private education
sessions there should be less opposition to the press. I found it a
bit disturbing that NONE of the other US based CryptoParties were
open. If we continue to operate in secrecy its going to breed
mistrust and soon there will be one world order type rumors flying
about Crypto Party.<br>

This is great!

But it is not the whole point. The point is in teaching as many
people as possible _in a friendly and welcoming environment_. Many
people feel uncomfortable with cameras around.

<br>
Yes. There are some which allow cameras and some that don't. Both
is needed.
<br>
<br>
What, in my opinion, is important, is, that the possible presence
of cameras or other surveillance equipment is clearly communicated
upfront.

alert people about the AP

some media interest in cryptoparty in general now.
