<p>It is very quiet in here...</p>
<p>About the Tor meeting in the southern part of the planet, I'm not
sure in what extent I could contribute to organizing and planning
it, since I'm not living in there right now.</p>
<p>I think I can be more useful particularly in creating/providing
resources in spanish for the local Tor meetups and for the
ultimate Tor meeting. Really, there isn't much non-sensacionalist,
positive, accurate, and updated info about the Tor project in
audio/video/graphics in spanish. I think these are quite important
to expand the knowledge about Tor in latinamerican communities.</p>
<p>So, if anyone wants to work on that line or have more thoughts on
this, please let me know and we can see the way forward.<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you Alison for setting up the mailing list!</p>
Abrazos, Clau.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi everyone,
I want to bump my earlier message to this list, since the list is so
brand new and maybe not many people were subscribed earlier in the week.
tl;dr, I want to start brainstorming and planning for the first Tor
Meeting in the Global South.

<pre wrap="">Hola todos/todas!
Here are a few of the action items we discussed during our two Global
South sessions at the Amsterdam Tor Meeting:
*Get a Tor Project board member from the Global South: find some names
of possible candidates and then send to Linus and Biella (board members)
* Create local Tor meetups and have Tor Project provide resources
(money, people, other materials)
* Hold the Tor Meeting in the Global South
* Support local conferences, eg Cryptorave
* More Tor infrastructure in the Global South (relays, DirAuths,
BWAuths, etc)
These were the items that seemed to come up most frequently in our
discussion and seem like good starting points for this communication
channel. There are more action items and more discussion points here [1].
One thing I'd like to prioritize personally is holding the Tor Meeting
in the Global South. We discussed some possible locations and some of
the metrics we'd need to consider in identifying good places. Those
metrics include:
- overall cost
- visa requirements
- length of travel from the EU and the US/Canada (though we will
consider this, we discussed how people in the Global South have had to
deal with long travel times to the EU for all past meetings, so if we
find a good place that is a great distance from the EU, so be it)
- internet speeds
- possible conference center locations
- Tor's relationship to the local community (the relationship as it
exists, and opportunities to build it more)
Any other data points that we should consider? Anyone want to throw out
some initial ideas for host cities? Some of the cities already discussed
a bit include Quito, Mexico City, São Paulo, and Lima. There was some
rough consensus that South America is the best first place for a meeting
in the South, but it would be great to hear from people who disagree on
that.
