Launching CRYPTOcrats

   Posted by: Amit   in Launch

Greetings!

It gives me great pleasure to launch CRYPTOcrats.com today when some of us in India are celebrating the festival of Gudi Padwa. This first day of the New Year per the Maharashtrian Calendar is celebrated by hoisting a “Gudi” - a decorated wooden stick outside the house . And for the curious ones this is how the Gudi looks.

CRYPTOcrats started as a linkedin group and now we have reached a critical mass. The purpose of this group was to bring together the mix of Cryptography/Security enthusiasts, aficionados and experts. While I was sending out the invites to friends and like minded acquaintances we thought why not have our own website. So CRYPTOcrats.com is this initiative where we would like to create forum for the group to discuss and read about Security/Cryptography.
There was a lot of hard work and sincere effort put in to create this and I hope you will use the forum to the group’s benefit to the fullest. There are a lot of people I would like to thank for their continued support. Few names that must be mentioned here are Mr. Ravi Gogte, Mr. Aniruddha Shrotri, Dr. Shridhar Shukla. They all have been encouraging us in the CRYPTOcrats cause.

A lot of thanks to the CRYPTOcrats founding team Mayuresh Bakshi and Abhishek Anurag.

Besides being a good source of information, a blog site, I am sure there are many other roles CRYPTOcrats.com might play and We would like to hear your suggestions about that.

With this I would like to launch CRYPTOcrats.com. Lets all figure out how we want to use CRYPTOcrats more effectively in the time to come.

Thank you.
