We are currently in heavy planning for a TPO presence at HOPE in NYC. It's a large audience with many currently or potentially interested in the project.
The TPO plans include:
* some people replying to the CFP to do presentations on both technical and non-technical topics.
* workshops on specific Tor topics. Topics can be large and small, but hands-on is good. Think "how do I install on an Android phone?" or "how do i teach others about Tor?"
We queried for a table and "lounge" space where workshops could be held, and are awaiting more information. We are unclear when the CFP closes.
At this point, a good core of TPO people will be attending, but more people means more workshops and bodies at the table. We are working out a lot of other details, including a Saturday night social event, a banner for the table, etc.
We are maintaining a pad at https://pad.riseup.net/p/TorHOPEplanning
Once we find out the status of the table/lounge and CFP closing, we can hold another #tor-meeting session and continue finalizing details.
Input/comments requested, including more people interested in tabling, presenting or hosting a workshop.
