If you have been doing something exciting lately (I know many of you have!), consider writing it up as a FOCI submission.

If you need help figuring out what to write, or what would be a good submission, etc, let me or others know and we'll try to help. Also if you've done a cool thing but don't have time to write it all up, you might be able to team up with some academics here who would help with the writing-up.

Hi Roger, Nick, Mike, Karsten,

Hope things are well. Given exciting recent developments across the Tor ecosystem, we are writing to encourage you (and your colleagues) to submit your work to this year???s Workshop on Free and Open Communications on the Internet (FOCI '16). FOCI 2016 will be co-located with USENIX Security in Austin, TX on August 8 2016.

This year, we're looking for six-page papers on any aspect of freedom of communications on the Internet, ranging from technical research on circumventing or measuring censorship, to research at the intersection of policy, regulation, social science and law. (For example, new Tor mechanisms -- both planned and deployed, new threats facing Tor, and experience + roadmap papers could all be a great fit.)

https://www.usenix.org/conference/foci16 https://www.usenix.org/conference/foci16The submission deadline is May 2.

Also, if you know anybody else who should know about it, please help us spread the word.

Thanks! Amir and Prateek (Co-Chairs)
