Hello everyone,
A quick update. We held our first event in Lisbon with an expectation of about 8 or 9 people. 25 signed up. It seems the interest here in Portugal is more than I anticipated.
Unfortunately, the library refused to let us use the larger room (with no real explanation), so we needed to split the event into two smaller events. One took place yesterday with great success. We had many individuals show up with varied interests, and many people took the "how to run a relay" cards that we printed.
The next event for the other half of the people who signed up will happen soon (need to hear back from the library to know when). I'll let you know how that goes, and then I'll start preparing the next events! Hopefully we can have a lively Tor community and Privacy community form in Lisbon, and then spread to other cities in Portugal and the rest of southern Europe. :D
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
Sorry I went dark for a while. Just wanted to give an update about
what's
going on.
I'm currently in Portugal and settled in nicely. I've had a few
meetings
with a CS student named Francisco, who seems genuinely excited about building up a general privacy scene here in Lisbon. Apparently there
is no
privacy scene here currently. He has a few interested parties already,
and
he needs my help setting up a Cryptoparty in Lisbon, so I'm currently helping with that. After we set that up we will be talking about
setting up
something more Tor-specific. I'm also trying to encourage him to join
the
Tor mailing lists and IRC channels so TPO and the Tor community can
easily
reach out to him in the future.
As for Spain, well, I haven't even had time to think about that yet.
I've
been so busy with organizing this stuff here and doing my day job that
I've
not had time to reach out to anyone. I'm wondering if this is
something a
few of us at PETS can talk about and action.
Anyway, I'll give more updates as they become available.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hello everyone,
Sorry I haven't been around for community meetings. These past few
weeks
have been a bit busy.
Soon I'm going to be heading over to Portugal, and I'll also spend
some
time in Spain. I'll be there for the whole summer. I remember that
after
one of our NYC meetings we discussed that the (known) Tor community
in
southern Europe is quite small. While I'm there I'd like to try to
build it
up and get the people there more involved (if that's fine with TPO).
So far
I reached out and set up a meeting with one university student who is interested in Internet freedom and privacy, but I'd rather not put
all of
my eggs into one basket.
Are there any tips about how I should go about trying to build up a community while I'm there? Any places that typically work in
community
building efforts (libraries, schools, etc.), especially for meeting
space?
I'd love any tips on how I should approach this.
Thanks,
Kevin
