Wired has a nice story on a crypto party organized by Edward Snowden shortly before he leaked the NSA documents. He used the same e-mail address to organize this crypto party that he used to contact Glenn Greenwald for the first time, which happened to be 11 days prior to the party. He had even been running Tor exit nodes at the time.

A crypto party is an open, free, and public tutorial on the use of cryptographic technologies, such as Tor, GPG, TrueCrypt, Tails, and others. It looks like a brilliant and practical way to overcome the learning curve of good security.
