***Please circulate to all interested parties***
This is to announce the Cypherpunks-India mailing list. The list is for cypherpunks in India, and for those who want to track the convergence of cryptography, politics and society here.
As you know, I volunteered to organise cypherpunks fleshmeets in Bangalore a few months ago. We had an initial meet with some hoopla, along with the Linux-India monthly meet in Bangalore. Public meetings, however, have not happened since then (as opposed to the private meetings and interactions - you know who you are.). It's been difficult co-ordinating with people, who are mostly madly busy and geographically distributed throughout India. This list, therefore, is a first step towards giving some structure to the various behind-the-scenes interactions we've been having, and to spread awareness of crypto and how it impacts commerce and politics today.
The list is kindly hosted by Vipul Ved Prakash, who needs no introduction to crypto observers here. Vipul also hosts http://munitions.vipul.net - which is an archive of crypto software that is mirrored across multiple locations. Vipul also was one of the finalists in the 3rd Annual Obfuscated Perl Contest with his dimunitive implementation of the Russian GOST algorithm.
To subscribe, use any ONE of the following URLs:
<http://lists.vipul.net/mailman/listinfo/cpunks-india>
<mailto:cpunks-india-request at lists.vipul.net?subject=subscribe>
In the next few days, as things evolve, we will put up some more information at the URLs above.
Thanks for all your support, and see you on the list!
Udhay
