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).
Ok thanks all for the comments and offers for help! I've had helped from Nima here on this first draft of a talk at HOPE "a la State of the Onion" but not being that talk bit for bit.

I'm also juggling with the idea of submitting a second talk on much more technical things because oh my we have so many things to say and there are lots of very curious, knowledgeable and wise people at HOPE on the technical side. Here are two ideas for a talk.
1) Directory Authority
Again, as I said in an previous email on that thread, this is a very interesting subject in my opinion and could be fascinating in many ways. Uncover this black box of Tor.
2) Onion "Hidden" Service
Classic but with the upcoming next generation work is a big step forward in fixing lots of issues of the current system. We'll also have me, special and possibly asn at HOPE which is a good crowd for a hs talk :). Furthermore, by the end of July, we'll have made progress on that front.
Please, cast your vote 1) or 2)? In all seriousness, the input from anyone will be useful here so we don't end up doing something uberly too complicated with a 55 minutes talk or even worse, very boring. Also, "a second talk is not needed" is also a valid answer if you think so.
(HOPE has yet announced details for a "booth" so pending...)
Thanks! David
