The Len Sassaman Project is an attempt to document and archive the online life and presence of Len Sassaman, a cryptographer, programmer and writer who took his own life in 2011. The project is currently in an embryonic stage but is expected to gain steam over the next few days. Currently, we're looking for:
- PDFs of writings by Len
- A Fan/Friend has volunteered to go through old mailing list archives to find long-form Len writings.
- Photographs of Len
