4.2) ilv is speaking at Cryptorave
intrigeri from Tails will be giving a keynote at Cryptrave.
Putting them in touch just in case they want to do something together :)
Vasilis will be there too!
Folks wants to organize a Tor meetup there and was asking for some orientation. I am adding him here too so everyone can talk together :)
I would love to see some stuff like:
1. are the trainers in Brazil in touch with each other? do they coordinate? if so how? (I know some of these answers but I would love to see what comes out from who is there)
2. relay operators - vinicius (egypcio) is someone who can give some background on what he has done related to that in the northeast of Brazil (this event is at the southeast so it would be nice for them to know more about that work)
3. what is the user persona that they have more demand to train on tor? social movement, journalists, politicians, students? And cases they use tor for.
4. translation - we need to improve some of the translations (specially for orbot and start translating orfox :)
5. talk about global south initiative (email list, irc etc) which has to do with all of the above (I guess)
I will stop here :) since I could go on and on. I believe the above can help a lot to get things started and maybe generate another 'meet up' after cryptorave at another opportunity.
cheers o/ isabela

really awesome to see a Tor meetup forming for Cryptorave! thanks everyone who is helping make this happen. I just wanted to add that we have some funds for Global South outreach, so at this meetup as you're thinking about training needs, please think about how travel funding could support that.
