Building Community in Southern Europe
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.

First I'd say it's tough to build something sustainable if you're only there for a short period of time. Regardless of that, I think there are some things you could try, one-off, that could at least have a quick, if temporary, impact. Don't shoot for the moon... just plan to get a (few) group(s) together. I tend to think relay operators are the easiest, since they have some decent level of regular commitment, tend to feel isolated, and the TPO has barely scratched that universe in terms of physical contact. And you have a great channel to reach them with @tor-relays and now the irc channel. I would look to organize an informal discussion, and try reaching out to the relay operators. "Are you running a Tor node or are you interested in doing it?" broadcast far and wide could pull in a few people. IMHO, doing anything broader, like a basic meeting or something for tb users, would be tougher, since you need space. You might want to reach out to any hacker spaces where you'll be.. .and maybe do a basic intro to TB if you make decent contacts? My $0.02. g -- 9927 587B 286A A21E 3022 A00F 8D55 D690 FA74 2289

Hi Kevin, Fernando Mancera, who was at the public part of the Rome meeting, is in Spain. I believe he is a student studying privacy tech, but I don't recall where he is, exactly. I can try to get his contact info for you. Also, hiro lives in Barcelona. You might ask her for advice. -Kat

And you have a great channel to reach them with @tor-relays and now the irc channel.
+1 You can also loop Colin (colin@torproject.org) into that conversation, at the very least letting relay ops/potential relay ops know that he's a resource for them. He's also helping organize a relay ops meetup at PETS in Barcelona in July, so you could coordinate with him to invite some people to that event.
I would look to organize an informal discussion, and try reaching out to the relay operators. "Are you running a Tor node or are you interested in doing it?" broadcast far and wide could pull in a few people.
IMHO, doing anything broader, like a basic meeting or something for tb users, would be tougher, since you need space.
But even if you just have a little bit of space at your university you could make this happen for like 5-10 people.
You might want to reach out to any hacker spaces where you'll be.. .and maybe do a basic intro to TB if you make decent contacts?
I have some great slides on teaching TB. If you want them I'll send them to you as soon as I make some updates from our Uganda trainings.

All of that sounds great! I believe I will be at PETS this year, so that will work out fantastically. Also, the slides to teach TB will be very useful. Thanks, Kevin On Sun, May 27, 2018, 10:50 Alison Macrina <alison@libraryfreedomproject.org> wrote:

Thanks,
Kevin As people mentioned I live in Barcelona, so feel free to reach out to me when you are around. I am going to send you a few contacts about some groups you could reach out to here around "Spain" (between quotes because Spanish people have a complex idea of their national identity).
University groups: Barcelona: https://www.criptica.org/ Madrid: https://librelabucm.org/ Malaga: https://librelabua.org/ Sevilla: Get in touch directly with Fernando, he is a tor contributor (ffmancera@riseup.net) Other groups: https://xnet-x.net/en/ This groups works w digital rights and anti-corruption. They installed global leaks for the city hall of Barcelona. Our local cybersec meetup meets every month. We haven't done a full Tor event yet. (https://www.meetup.com/Barcelona-Cybersecurity/) If you wanted I could introduce directly to people in this groups. Also the people organising IFF are in touch with a few local groups in Valencia. Lots of them are in NYC. If you wanted to organise something in Barcelona let me know, I can help with finding a space and providing cheap or free drinks ;) The only thing you should keep in mind is that from June till the end of August people will start slowing down. Some companies do "horario reducido" (reduced working schedule). This means that some people will start working around 8AM and around 3PM they head to the beach or swimming pool to cool off. I hope this helps. Anything else, let me know. Talk soon, -hiro
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.

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, Kevin Gallagher PhD Candidate, Department of Computer Science New York University Tandon School of Engineering 2 MetroTech Center, 10th Floor Brooklyn, NY 11201 Phone: (757) 202-8961 Email: kevin.gallagher@nyu.edu Key Fingerprint: D02B 25CB 0F7D E276 06C3 BF08 53E4 C50F 8247 4861 On Sun, Jun 17, 2018 at 8:14 AM, Vinícius Zavam <egypcio@googlemail.com> wrote:

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
