Hi, Is anyone from the community planning to attend RightsCon in Toronto May 16-18? I was wondering if it is possible to have some sort of an information booth there for Tor (the RightsCon website doesn't mention anything in the program), and if yes, then we should plan that together. Does anyone have more information about how this works? I will be there so I was thinking if I should attend in that capacity, or just attend the event as a volunteer. For the curious, the ticket prices if you attend as an individual (and don't volunteer) are quite steep, IMO. -- Sukhbir

(I'm not, but I think it's the right question to ask. When others attend other events, the same question should be asked) We discussed getting a banner (one in the US, one in EU?) for now... plus stickers/shirts and any hard copy materials are the essentials, I think. We are planning the same for HOPE in NYC in July.
I will be there so I was thinking if I should attend in that capacity, or just attend the event as a volunteer. For the curious, the ticket prices if you attend as an individual (and don't volunteer) are quite steep, IMO.
I haven't made RightsCon before, it's the Access one, right? I assume other TPO people attend... The interesting thing for these events is that we can begin to realize that the "tor community" is a lot larger than any of us imagine... g -- 34A6 0A1F F8EF B465 866F F0C5 5D92 1FD1 ECF6 1682
I'll be there. =) On March 25, 2018 8:07:48 PM EDT, Ian Goldberg <tor@cypherpunks.ca> wrote:

This looks like the right URL: https://www.rightscon.org/village/ It looks like they have non-paid community / NGO booths, but there's a tiny sentence in there that implies the non-paid booths are a "four hour slot". So, I am a fan of the booth idea, especially if we can swing a situation where we have a booth long enough for people to get used to the idea that they can come find us there. :) --Roger
I would reach out to Rian Wanstreet and ask. This is one of those things where I'm sure they'd say yes for Tor, even if they are trying to have some kind of rotation going for the booth area overall. (rian@accessnow.org) On March 27, 2018 12:12:45 AM EDT, Roger Dingledine <arma@mit.edu> wrote:
