+Daniel Kahn Gillmor (dkg) is a freelance Technology Advisor with a
+particular interest in cryptography, user interface design, and
+distributed systems as means to pursue the goals of user autonomy and
+resistance to centralized control.  He contributes discussion and
+patches on several crypto-related lists, and is an active participant
+in what remains of the IETF OpenPGP Working Group.  He co-administers
+one of the OpenPGP keyservers, and was dubiously involved in
+publicizing the ongoing transition to a post-SHA1 Web of Trust.
+
+dkg works with schools, NGOs, activist groups, and some corporations
+to help them understand their tech needs and risks, possible
+solutions, and how to use and understand the tools they choose.  He
+works with several technology-focused organizations, including May
+First/People Link (http://mayfirst.org/) and Riseup
+(http://riseup.net).
+
+He is also a contributor to The Organic Internet
+(http://mayfirst.org/organicinternet), which includes his essay about
+structural flaws in the X.509 certificate model.
+
+dkg began working with free software in 2002, and became a Debian
+Developer in 2009.  The Monkeysphere project began to coalesce in
+early 2008, and remains an ongoing collaboration of many people,
+including:
+
+ * Micah Anderson
+ * Mike Castleman
+ * Daniel Kahn Gillmor
+ * Ross Glover
+ * Matthew James Goins
+ * Greg Lyle
+ * Jamie McClelland
+ * Jameson Graef Rollins

+I've given several workshops and skillshares about the ideas behind
+OpenPGP and how to use gpg and its various frontends to
+small-to-medium groups (5 to 25 people).
+
+I led an effective skillshare on the nature of X.509-based
+certifications and how they are used in SSL and TLS back in 2003 or
+2004.
+
+I co-led a surprisingly large (~>50 people? packed room!) discussion
+about free software and why it should matter to users as well as
+developers a the Grassroots Media Conference a few years ago with
+Alfredo Lopez and Laura Quilter.  This was a very active discussion,
+and topics ranged from motivation and policy to moderately technical
+concerns.
+
+I presented a poster with a colleague on a novel acoustic correlation
+method at ICASSP (the IEEE's International Conference on Acoustics,
+Speech, and Signal Processing) 2001 (though i've recently let my IEEE
+membership lapse).
+
+I've introduced numerous people to the monkeysphere via IRC
+discussions, and have a strong handle on both:
+
+ * the necessary details to keep a technical audience engaged
+
+ * the bigger-picture goals to keep a non-technical audience engaged
