toronto. If you want to use the meetup group to propose something I can add 
you as an organizer to the group and you'll be free to use it however you'd

Thanks for the generous response, but I fear that Meetup is one of those sites I 
refuse to join, in an attempt to keep my life simple(r).  I'll keep a weather 
eye open here for planning and upcoming events.

Re: [CODE4LIB] PGP

[Tom Keays]

I've been using the Mailvelope plugin for Chrome (there's also one for
Firefox) to manage PGP keys. It integrates with Gmail (and other webmail
clients) and, in my opinion, has quite good usability.

https://www.mailvelope.com/

The problem then becomes finding others who also have PGP keys and
encouraging your friends and colleagues to encrypt. You need a certain
critical mass of people who use the technology for it to be anything but a
curiosity.

I also have a Protonmail mail account, which does end-to-end PGP encryption
with other Protonmail users. Emails sent within the system are
automatically encrypted, since Protonmail itself manages and applies the
public PGP keys. Private keys are supposed to be encrypted within your
individual account using a passcode you have to enter when you first login
and therefore not accessible by Protonmail employees.

https://protonmail.com/

Again, the problem is that I don't correspond with anybody else who uses
the service.

You can also share your Protonmail PGP key so people not using that mail
system can send you encrypted messages. The big omission is that they have
not provided a built-in keychain in Protonmail so you can send encrypted
messages back.

Back in June of 2014, Google announced its End-to-End encryption plugin for
Chrome, which was intended to add Protonmail-like encryption to Gmail, but
two years later it is still not released.

PGP has a dreadful reputation for usability, be prepared for a significant
support burden if you take that route.

You could always try omitting details from the email but providing a link:
"You have 4 books due tomorrow, click here and login to see the details"
kind of thing. That in conjunction with a local techie checking your email
sending settings.

Depending on the client, the default security may be something other 
than PGP. Thunderbird comes to mind. I think it uses SSL. Gmail uses 
TLS. Yahoo! uses DKIM. Not that PGP can't be added as a plug-in or 
extension, sometimes (e.g. Thunderbird), but that may be beyond the 
capability (and willingness) of many people.


I'd love to encrypt some of my email, but haven't been able to get 
agreement from even my most savvy acquaintances.


Let us know how it goes if you decide to tackle it.

Re: [CODE4LIB] PGP

[Cornel Darden Jr.]

Hello,

Sounds good. Would be confusing for customers, staff etc. But I support you and 
say go for it! Will be tough to sell to administration. 

I would give it a shot. Le me know if you want to bounce ideas off for 
implementation.  Please keep me posted. Your patrons will surely benefit, and I 
guarantee you will convert many over to encryption. With what's app, messenger, 
and telegram offering easy to access encryption now. It is more plausible. 

Thanks.

I've been thinking about privacy lately. It seems to me much more email should 
be encrypted. Many communications from the library might be personal and 
potentially damaging. Email from the library showing overdues, or holds might 
be sensitive. Would it be possible for our email systems to ask for a public 
PGP key along with email and then use that whenever sending out notices? Should 
my hospital, insurance company, bank, and so on be doing the same? Just asking, 
maybe we could take the lead on privacy in this area.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Fwd: NYC Local Chapter?

[Daniel Lovins]

Hi Dave. I've been to some NYC Code4Lib events at METRO [1], but I'm
not sure what's currently happening.

Hadn't heard about the DTL conference. Thanks for mentioning it. I'm
also intrigued by the co-located Workshop on Data and Algorithmic
Transparency [2].
