Yes, let's have a end-user focused crypto workshop!

I'm not an expert but I can help OS X users get set up with

Tor
Adium + OTR
Making encrypted disk images
Truecrypt

And I wanna learn about web of trust, keysigning, gpg for email

Also I'm really wishing for a better social network for people to switch
to.  Any thoughts on that?
