Hello Tor! Last month, we were out and about + working on copy for upcoming releases and our new site. I joined Alison, David, George, and Matt at HOPE for the Onion Report: https://livestream.com/internetsociety/hope/videos/178158095 We had a booth the whole weekend and were cleaned out of shirts for donations in a few hours. Matt and I (with help from gman and Yin) led a Tor session as part of the Computer Science for Cyber Security (CS4CS) Summer Program for High School Women. Another session with a new group is happening next week.
