Publicising Humbug with special posters and what not hasn't worked too
well in the past, so maybe pointing them to the home page is best.

However, we have been giving talks recently.  The driving force behind
this is the upcoming PyCon 2014 conference a fair few humbug'ers are
involved in running.  We need practice.

Some of these talks may interest your students.  I plan to give one
titled "Man, Machine, and Passwords" in a few meetings time.  It will
cover how CPU design contains effects the way we store passwords, and in
particular hash functions, PBKDF2 and scrypt.  Later on I might give a
talk about belt CPU's.

If you have any ideas on how we can publicise our talks to the students,
I'd be grateful.
