1778 "</a> Understanding and setting up email encryption sounds like a daunting "
1779 "task to many people. That's why helping your friends with GnuPG plays such "
1780 "an important role in helping spread encryption. Even if only one person "
1781 "shows up, that's still one more person using encryption who wasn't "
1782 "before. You have the power to help your friends keep their digital love "
1783 "letters private, and teach them about the importance of free software. If "
1784 "you use GnuPG to send and receive encrypted email, you're a perfect "
1785 "candidate for leading a workshop!"
