+## bio
+
+[[Tom Marble|/tmarble]] is best known for being the
+first "OpenJDK Ambassador" on the Sun Microsystems core team that open
+sourced the Java programming language. Tom has a Masters degree in
+Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota where he
+worked under [Otto H. Schmitt][ohs].
+He has combined his EE and community experiences in open source hardware
+projects such as [USB TRNG][usbtrngblog]
+and his software and intellectual property experiences by organizing
+a legal and policy issues track at Europe's largest open source
+conference, [FOSDEM][devroom2015].
+
+Mr. Marble is committed to increasing diversity in technology
+(especially in open source) by volunteering as an organizer
+for [ClojureBridge Minneapolis][clojurebridge]
+ -- a weekend workshop for women to learn the Clojure programming language --
+as well as the
+[GNOME Outreach Program for Women][opw]
+on behalf of the [Debian][debian] project.
+
+Mr. Marble is the founder of Informatique, Inc.: a consultancy which
+leverages his hardware, software and legal engineering background for
+client projects as diverse as telematics for electric vehicles,
+probabilistic model checking, autonomous cyber defense, and
+multiplayer online gaming.
+
+## abstract
+
+We are stuck between knowing that our Internet communications
+are vulnerable and using overly complex crypto tools.
+This workshop will explain, step by step, how to use open source
+encryption available in a live USB drive based system
+to secure e-mail. Along the way you will learn about
+threats to anonymity on the web and how to harness the Web of Trust.
+We'll then explore the next steps to making secure e-mail more
+practical for everyday use.
