Hi everyone!
On monday, the HOPE conference in NY happening on July 22-24 will open its CFP.
I will attend this event for which I think it's a great place to reach hackers, activist, journalist and so on in North America. I know some of you are planning also which is great. But I feel like we should also try to submit a talk there. In the last two (4 years time), there were no Tor talk at all.
There are plenty of subject we can talk about but I would also like not to repeat the 32c3 talks (at least not word for word). So, here it is, a thread so we can think about it.
Something that could be cool is: "I'm a Tor directory authority and here how that works." or <insert idea>.
I'm happy to "coordinate" this CFP effort if we think it's a good idea and we want to do it. So knowing who is going and who is willing to speak would be good :). I offer my service for that but it DOES NOT have to be me necessarly (also the more the merrier).
Hello David,
Thanks for making the call for this. Is the CFP still open? Do you happen to have developed more ideas on what things we could perhaps talk about? I'm also going and I can talk about Library Freedom Project and our effort to bring online privacy to public spaces.
Only in the last year as I started going to more public gatherings, I've realized we at Tor are evolving so fast and everyone is excited to know more about what we do and how we're doing it. We could do updates on Tor in literally every single conference and I guarantee it's never gonna get old ;) but let's be more creative than that! :D
Another thing that came up on IRC yesterday, was the possibility of getting a booth (table) at HOPE for Tor, which remains Shari's and Roger's decision to make.
Anyways, I just wanted to say I'm in! Let's do this!
Best,
