I doubt that I will be able to get to dresden, but is there a chance of some sort of video conference? I like the idea of putting together so sort of official group behind the tor exit node operators. There are a ton of things that this could encompass, and we could roll up a few different efforts under one header. Also it allows those that want to sponsor nodes, but not deal with the tech side of it to contribute. <br>

Hi,<br>

* SOFTLAYER/100TB:<br>
A few days ago Softlayer nullrouted ONE of our exit IPs, but the other<br>
IPs are still up. So much for the 72hr deadline issued on Dec 5th<br>
(because of one DMCA complaint).<br>
<br>
I could just move the one "dead" exit to one of our unused IPs, but we<br>
have used up most of our bandwidth in the current billing period anyway<br>
(85TB at the moment, one week to go), so it doesn't hurt that much and<br>
I'll let it run with three Tor processes for the next week.<br>

<br>
Every time I ask 100tb about the new server in the UK, they tell me they<br>
will get "back to me with an offer shortly".<br>
<br>
* ASSOCIATION:<br>
About the association: You know that I am working on setting up a<br>
non-profit organization. I have found an excellent privacy lawyer who<br>
helps me to set everything up, and the foundation will be based in their<br>
offices, which gives the best legal protection we can get. At the<br>
moment, I am waiting for the tax authorities to confirm the charitable<br>
status of our charter, after that we will hold a founding meeting in<br>
Dresden, probably sometime in early February.<br>
<br>
If you happen to be somewhere near and want to help us get this thing<br>
going, you're welcome to join us! I could also use a native speaker for<br>
the press release (to hopefully generate a bit of attention to the Tor<br>
project).<br>
