This is great! I wish I were still in Tunis so I could attend, but sadly
I'm already en-route back to the states. I hope your event goes great
and lots of people learn to send their first end-to-end encrypted
messages tomorrow.

It sucks that it turned out this way. I didn't want it to at all, and I
was looking forward to meeting Hackerspace TN folks, but I totally get
why you were turned off by the name policy. I probably would be too in
the same situation.
