Money raised at Hackadon in Paris
Hi! I have been invited to present Tor at the “Hackadon” [1] organized by Without Model [2] this evening. Sarah Gold [3] did an introduction talk were she addressed topics like privacy and control over computers and data, developping free software tools by working closer with users, cooperation between designers and developpers, funding and sustainability. She very recently started a new company called IF to work on these topics. We most likely will have the chance to meet in Valencia. Six different projects working on open culture and tools then had five minutes to pitch what they were up to. After rounds of questions, the audience was invited to distribute money that the organizers had collected between the projects. 620€ were gathered for The Tor Project and several attendees came to me to say how much the appreciate our work. :) [1]: It's a word play as “don” in French means donation, and as the whole sounds close to “hackathon”.

Lunar, 620 euros? That's fantastic! I'll tweet about it tomorrow while French people are awake. Cheers, Katie Lunar:

That's really great! =) Hopefully Sarah does come to Valencia. There's also a few days left to submit at talk/workshop/training/hackathon! ~Griffin -- “I did then what I knew then, & when I knew better, I did better.” ― Maya Angelou
